I just ordered for myself the Edifier - R1380DB Active Bookshelf Speakers, Computer Speakers - Bluetooth and Optical Input - 2.0 Studio Monitor Speaker for $119.99 [bestbuy.com] (black/wood/white color options)
with free shipping or pick up

Also Edifier - R1380T Active Bookshelf Speakers, Computer Speakers [bestbuy.com]– Dual RCA inputs - 2.0 Studio Monitor Speaker (black/wood/white) for $99.99
The 1280s are also on sale for 99.99 but the 1380s are for the same price and have slightly better specs

These speakers (active) are better compared to the Klipsch bookshelf (passive) speakers on sale currently at Costco for $99.99

I have the 1280's which I think are the 1380's with a smaller tweeter. The MR4's sound better than the 1280's to me, but the 1280DBs is more feature rich with inputs/outputs which makes it a good buy for a TV speaker replacement. The MR4s are definitely meant for near-field listening, so I don't know how they'd do for a TV 10 feet away. A big advantage of the 1380 is the front firing port which means you can mount them right against the wall.

Love my 1280DBs set. If I didn't already snag the wife a set of Mackie CR3-Xs from the Musician's Friend deal for $50 earlier (deal dead now) I might have snagged a set.

1280DBs (w/ sub-out) were down to $112 on BF and I'm in no rush to replace my Bose Companion 2s, but these seem well-reviewed for the price. Is it worth waiting for a model with sub-out for a similar price? There's very limited comparison between 1280 and 1380 to see how much is different...

edit: reviews say the coax can be used for sub-out even though this doesn't have the same sub-out that the 1280DBs has. There's no 1380DBs model I can find.

It may be worth paying a little more for a version with a sub out, because unless you have a subwoofer with speaker level inputs, you'll have to go buy a little speaker level to RCA adapter box and then you've paid about the same for a more cluttered setup. The 1280's really benefit from a subwoofer. They are great tiny speakers, but they have insufficient bass below 100Hz for the way I like a setup. Another reason the sub-out models are nice is that when you plug in a sub, some of the low frequency content is removed by a crossover so it doesn't go to the tiny 4" woofers, and that lets them more act as the midrange drivers that they are. The argument for a non sub out model is to get one of the higher end models, or if you have a sub with speaker level inputs. I believe the 1380 is basically a 1280 with a 1" tweeter instead of a 1/2" tweeter.

The coax is stated to be an input to feed a coax audio signal from a source to the speakers. It's odd someone is saying they output with it.

If you need a small profile sub that has some speaker level inputs, this one is not a high SPL woofer, but it is small and fills them in nicely when crossed over about 100HZ if you are just trying to flatten out response. If you want the most bass per dollar, you'd get more from a conventional big enclosure. If you go this route, you wouldn't need a sub out. There will be sales and coupons that bring it down to about $150:

Not the same thing. Your link requires an amplifier.

yup, you just need to connect the Line Out from the back of your PC to the RCA-in jacks with a simple Y adapter that changes the Aux cord style plug to RCA.

I am newbie, with a PS5, Sony TV and a gaming laptop. Will the adapter make the sound quality less?

No. From a reasonable discernment, you'll be fine
