Need Help choosing between two low end bookshelf speakers

[acid101]

I have a budget of arounf 150 bucks to buy new speakers.
i'll be using them predominantly for listening to music of various genre.i will also do some casual gaming with the speakers on.
i have my eyes on these speakers below:

http://www.edifier.com/int/en/speakers/r1700bt-bluetooth-bookshelf

the 1700 is e little costlier and i would like to know if its worth the extra 50 buckss. and NO bluetooth is not a requirement for me and i look purely for better audio quality."
Thanks for your time.

I would encourage you to save a bit more money and get something that you can live with for a while.

 

These are extremely popular and considered great value: https://www.amazon.com/JBL-LSR305-Professional-Studio-Monitor/dp/B00F1DEI8G

THE AUDIO ENGINE AND JBL ones are kinda too much for me to invest on. ill probably not get the warranty for them because of where i live and its kinda risky

Welcome to the forum. I haven't heard those speakers, and I doubt anyone else here has, either. They are made in China. If you can scrape up $229, you can buy a pair of USA-made Audioengine A2+ on ebay. That company stands behind their products. I have a pair, and they sound very good at low to moderate volume. If that is too much, look to the used market.

Thumbs up for the Audio Engines! They are definitely great value!
