I'm currently considering retiring my giant hurking cabinet and stack of amp / pre-amp / sacd player / turntable (gasp!), and going the route of amplified speakers. The Audioengine A5's are my current pick, but I see the Klipsch-XF-48-Icon-X on sale (@ $400 each, but were $1250, and I'm a sucker for "a deal") They oddly pitch them as home theater (who does 5.1 without an amp/ rec'r?)
In either case, they would be the (stereo) sound for a squeezebox classic (a slimdevices 3, actually) and replace the Dali bookshelves on stands. I realize the two aren't really comparable - the Klipsh are floor standers, twice the price, etc. But if you have experience in this arena, lemme know what you think - I'm "sold" on the A5's, but I'm not sure if I'm up-sold on the Klipshes. Hoping to audition this weekend. -- markbelanger ------------------------------------------------------------------------ markbelanger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20400 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72732 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
