Thanks OP. Just got a turntable and need some speakers. I hoped Fluance would drop the AI60 again today but no luck. The Edifiers should do the trick and the price is right.

Which one would be a good starter speaker?

I plan to use it primarily for my PC but also stream music and possibly add it to my TV/gaming setup.

R1700bt. But it doesn't have optical port. Does your tv have RCA audio out or 3.5mm jack? If no, you will need a $25 adapter.

Alternatively you can wait for a deal on 1850DB or 2000DB, those have an optical port

Good to know, 2000DB seems to be the sweet spot. Will wait it out.

The 1700s seem nice for a new turntable setup. Anyone see any other good deals on bookshelf/ tower speakers around right now?

Would the 1700s make good desktop speakers?

Depends on what you do on your desktop. Generally, yes

I got a Kanto SYD from this thread, it's basically a pair of YU4 combined. I'd prefer proper boookshelf, but this one is within budget, and the white colour matches my set-up .

I use the 1280DB as my secondary speakers. They work well with TVs. However if you increase the volume to a substantial level, you will find a bit of clipping of Bass. At a moderate level the sound is rich and warm and I do recommend them.
