If you want a great AM/FM Tuner in the bargain check out Tivoli. I have
had a Model 2 with an SB2 in the bedroom for a couple years:

The form factor is nice and there are several finishes. You can also
add a sub and CD player
That's true. We were working with the AudioEngine guys early on to
explore building some companion speakers for Squeezebox, starting
with the A5s and trying to scale down. We got distracted with our
new friends at Logitech, and later on the A2s have arrived.
I haven't heard them personally
I just remembered something - a couple of years ago at Digital Life
Slimdevices were demonstrating the SB3 with what I'm guessing were an
early prototype of the A2 (or maybe an aborted A1?). They were tiny and
powered IIRC, but design wise just like the A2. Alas they weren't loud
enough to compete
I'd recommend the Harman Kardon Soundsticks II. Great sound and very
sexy!
I have one pair for the bedroom for the SB3 and another in the study
for the computer.

think they're all right - especially as we're all playing 'pc-music'

PC speakers have and are improving all the time. Driven not only by
people ripping their music collections, or buying them on-line, but
also by the demands of games for higher quality sounds.

You might also like to consider the Logitech X-10 speakers, which sound
pretty good with or without a PC.
They aren't huge, and won't do much bass, but what they do do, they do
very well.
At around £80 they are good vfm too.

I would also throw the Swan S200A's (or one of their other powered

What's recommended depends mostly on your budget. Prices range from
cheapo "computer speakers" (not recommended) to active monitors costing
US$2000 and more, with a lot in-between. Search these forums for "active
