[Ronnie46]

I really love the look of bookshelf speakers but a friend said i cannot use bookshelf speakers with a pc. I don't want these for editing audio I just want to listen to music and have them look nice. is he incorrect in saying i cant use bookshelf speakers with a pc? also if you can recommend any speakers for around £100 please do. 

Thanks in advance <3

he also said that bookshelf speakers always have a flat sound because they are used to edit audio and so they are not good for listening to audio. is this also incorrect? <3

Not always, and they aren't always used for monitoring. But, I personally like a very flat sound because it means I can tune it without having to compensate for a frequency response curve.

Your friend doesn't seem to know what he's talking about.

Flat does not mean they're not good for listening to music on.

Furthermore, you have to spend A LOT of money to get speakers with a really flat response curve.

What's your budget and what do you like to listen to, and we can recommend some you might like

[Ronnie46]

my price point in around £100 and i mainly listen to rock but I listen to a lot of different shit. yeah he doesn't really know what he's talking about  

Thanks any recommendations based on that? <3

I am guessing you want a powered speaker so you don't need to amp it. I would always recommend to look used when we are in this kinda budget, but from new edifier is a decent option.

I would think the 1800T is the better option, since it is higher in their model line up, but I wouldn't expect too much of an difference.

If Im not wrong the r1800tiii is newer than the r1280t

it looks like the R1800TIII 2.0 are from Q2 2016 and the R1280T are from 2014, not that age really matters here..
