Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Need advice on budget active stereo speakers
Congratulations on your decision to enter the world of SquuezeMusic. :-) I own both the Aego M and the AE 5 for sattelite systems, and either is very impressive for the price. The Aego M is probably most versatile due to the miniscule size of the little stereo speakers, unfortunately they are getting harder to get for a budget price here in the USA. :-( I like them a lot as bedroom speakers - they truly provide very clean sound for a 2:1 setup. Only objection I have is the somewhat coarse setting for the subwoofer - its boominess goes off a lot when you change it from the lowest 1 setting to 2 (out of 3, I seem to recall). For somewhat over $100 more, I think the AE5 provide serious ability at what still can be considered a bargain price, but we have had spirited disagreements on the audiophile merit of the AE5 in this forum, which some decare too boomy (whereas I say they simply defy the usual bass limitations of typical bookshelf speakers, albeit aggressively so). -- pablolie ...pablo Server: 3.3 GHz Intel E8600 Core 2 Duo (8GB) - Vista Ultimate 64 Ubuntu 8.10 64 Sources: SB3 (4), SB Boom (2), Duet, Accuphase DP65v CD Amplifier: Accuphase E306v Loudspeakers: Ceeroy 3-way tuned by Darmstadt Psychoacoustics Lab Headphones: Grado SR-1 pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57516 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Need advice on budget active stereo speakers
... I will certainly take the M-Audio Studiophile AV40 into consideration and may be have a look at the Genelec, too (though I agree that they are rather ugly). The Quad 11L and 12L look beautifull, but they seem to be too expensive for the price range I am looking at; maybe I get a pair of used ones instead?! Thanks again for your help!

Have a look at the M-Audio Studiophile AV40. They have lots of good reviews on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/M-Audio-Studiophile-AV-Powered-Speakers/dp/B000MUXJCO/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8s=musical-instrumentsqid=1230866706sr=8-1 -- MrSlim MrSlim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17673 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57516 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Need advice on budget active stereo speakers
Having heard both of the audioengine speaker models (A2 and A5) I highly recommend either one. The A2 is a bit lacking in bass due to small driver size. The A5 on the other hand is a perfect single room filling speaker. -- SuperQ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57516 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Need advice on budget active stereo speakers
Genelecs are excellent but certainly not very pretty (or cheap). I recommend that you also consider the Quad actives. You can often find them on Audiogon as well. -- NewBuyer NewBuyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7862 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57516 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
