Very thorough research, thanks! The extra satellite is available directly from Acoustic Energy for £40 plus pp. Rather steep though since that is nearly half the total price.. -- James_B James_B's Profile:

For a little higher budget, you should definitly try your hears on Elac 310.2 Jet speakers: http://www.elac.com/en/products/three/elac310_2jet.html Those speakers are just incredible (I own a pair a little more than a year ago and I still get astonished by how such a little speaker sounds).

Very interesting...I tried it on the bedroom system that has the L and R speakers on a shelf. Adding the C speaker and putting it in the middle tended to collapse the stereo spread, and since I was closer to the C speaker, it seemed louder and had a tendency to overwhelm the other channels a

I'm currently talking to Hexateq about creating a 2 channel, flush-mount, auto-sensing D class amp that fits into the wall. The idea is that it hooks to a set of ceiling speakers and power at the back, with RCA on the front for connecting the SB3 up to. No power switch, no LEDs. At the moment

Cheers. How large is the Aego´s sub and how well do you find you can hide it? In terms of positioning is it a pain? My ideal would be to only have the sattelites visible.. -- James_B James_B's Profile:

Dimensions: Sub Woofer - 265 x 190 x 350mm Satellites - 68mm x 103mm x 90mm I haven't had a problem positioning it. It works well under the desk in a computer situation. In one bedroom, it's on a low bookshelf beneath the sats. In the other bedroom, it's under the bed with the sats high up

Thanks again for the advice.. I don't suppose you have heard the aegos vs the engines? People seem to like them both but have either heard one or the other.. -- James_B James_B's Profile:

Lots of positive results on this forum with both systems. I have not heard the AudioEngines. They are a good bit larger than the Aegos, so not as easy to conceal in a small room. Do a search on these forums for AudioEngine and you'll get lots of info. -- Pale Blue Ego

Are there any suggestions out there for discrete speaker systems suitable for small rooms (say ten square metres)? Ideally any solution would also sound great at relatively low volumes.. and lets say there is a 500 pound budget but less is definitely more.. Many thanks -- James_B

I am sure powered monitors are a great route and have heard a lot of good things about the audio engines. I was however looking for something a little smaller that could be slightly more hidden away - sorry i should have been more specific - any ideas? -- James_B

Aego-M from Acoustic Energy. £99. The tiny satellites can go almost anywhere, and the sub is modest-sized and could be placed behind a curtain or a couch. Sounds excellent at low volumes and can also play quite loudly without breaking up. High tech design with heavy metal alloy cabinets for
