Anyone know where they ship from? US or in ON? Reviews seem very solid.

Looking to get some speakers for my PC, this vs The Bose Companion 2 Series III for this price?

ON, was next day for me in Toronto.
Had a issue with an order but received the best customer service I've had in awhile.
Speakers are great as well.

Aren't they much better? Those are entry-level while you got high-end (I could be wrong)

I'd rather say the R1280DBs are double the price of non-Bluetooth version ($100 more expensive incl tax).

The RB61s are much bigger, way better construction/build and way better looking.

Refurbished ones are at 135$. Yes, there are drawbacks compared to new but its another option. For me, bluetooth is mandatory, purely for convenience, depends on your use case.

so these would be a decent set to connect to a record player?

*Edit* Did some research and looks like they should pair up well so I ordered. Thanks OP.

Or you could try one of these bluetooth receivers https://www.amazon.ca/Bluetooth-Streami ... T&dchild=1 . I've used this on a Sonos Play:5 Gen 1 and it works well as a bluetooth receiver.

I bought a pair a couple months back and they are pretty darn good. Not world beaters by any stretch but they definitely pull their own weight. I think the next step up for noticeable improvement is more starting in the $250+ range.

Adding a sub would make a huge difference too, not for everyone of course.
