Slightly off-topic.

Most of these high-end hi-fi audio equipment also use ready-made parts from other manufacturers.......after a while when you know the few quality OEM part makers in the market, you can save a lot instead of blindly pursuing the atas brands.

Dynaudio is one such manufacturer. Many years back some tweeters used by Sonus Faber are from them.​

Yup. Actually no need to spend that much to build a reasonably competent hifi desktop setup. I think 1k-3k more than sufficient. Cannot buy big speakers anyway, can only stick to smaller bookshelves.

Scm7 is great for desktop use. Ok what, now only increase a bit to $1.6k. Might actually be cheaper coz they might give discount if you ask.

That rating is just a consolidation of all sellers under Taobao, and doesn't give info on individual seller.

When buying under Taobao better to see if the seller sold any units and has reviews.

Waiting for the pebble pro discount then buy this 2.0 to replace my current T40.

Wanna ask the pros here

I bought Klipsch Heritage Promedia 2.1 and will be getting the set delivered tomorrow.

Read up a bit and found a lot of people complaining about the default given rca cable in the box is trash and causing hissing and sound quality problem.

Can give recommendation which brand and type and where to buy a high quality RCA cable. Best is places like challenger or harvey norman or best denki kind of places for convenience. But not sure which brand and type to buy to be considered as high quality for the sub.

The problem isn't the cable, it's the speaker design.

Can consider Elecom cables which I myself mainly use.
Cheap and good, RCA cables don't really need to spend too much.

Hissing issue is actually not the cable but the speaker issue.
After you received the set, do not connect to your PC or any audio source.
Try to turn the volume all the way to hear any hissing cuz if there is you have to return it.

But if there's no hissing, when you connect to your PC than got hissing.
It could cable issue or something causing the hissing.

this or creative T60@S$99 ?

I have no experience with T60, the only creative speakers in their recent line up I have tried with a PC are pebble plus, pebble V3, stage V2 and none of them are better than their T40.

MR4 sounds fuller than the T40 due to having pretty heavy bass for a 4" woofer, while still having the clarity of details in the midrange which has always been T40's strength. Even at low volume speech is very clear. MR4 sounds best with audio enhancements disable in system audio.

Downside of MR4 is dated feature set, no Bluetooth, no usb connection, no remote and analog volume with very high gain stepping. Because of that last bit, it's better if you have external volume control ie. on the keyboard etc to adjust the system volume instead in smaller increments. Upside to the high gain is it amplifies a headphone out or portable players very well, eg. Using an android stick on a monitor as a smart TV and connecting the headphone out from monitor to the MR4.
