Edifier Cyber Monday Bookshelf Speaker specials on Amazon:
(much better than their own site's Black Friday weekend sale)
I've been looking for a pair of cheap bookshelves, and waiting for these to go on sale again. The wait is over, and from what I've seen, these are all time lows for the popular R1280/R1700/R1850 models.
TL;DR: This sale is legit. It is historical low for many products and extremely good for all.

You should be, but it's not recommended. Bluetooth is notorious for audio lag. Use wires for permanent setups

Any recommendations on what model to use as computer speakers?
If you only listen to them while you are on the computer, as in, always no more than 6 feet away, I would say something like the 1280T's would be sufficient and sound great. If you will use these for playing music and being away from the computer, basically using the computer as a sound system, might as well go for as much money as you are willing to spend.
We have the 1850DB's in the kitchen on top of the cabinets, hooked up to a Amazon Echo, and they sound great in our medium sized kitchen. I just ordered another set for my teenage son, as he really has no decent speakers except some small portable bluetooth speaker.

The R2000s are a 120w system compared to 70 for the 1850s, but the 1850 has the sub out.
If you don't have a powered sub ready to go I think the 2000s are the clear choice, but if you have one it becomes more a complicated decision.
