I'll add the M1 Active to the list. I have the Logitech Z-2300 and the
M1 kicks its ass. I've also looked at the A5 and have added it to my
wish list.

Just to give another option (among all the A-5 recommendations), I'd
also suggest the Logitech Z-2300 line. I'm not saying they're as good
as the A-5s, but at less than half the price, they do provide great
sound for the cost. No idea about their availability outside the U.S.,
but they're worth
Hi all
I have just purchased a classic on ebay, which is my third sb (to go
with 1 touch and 1 classic) - and this one I plan to use upstairs with
some powered speakers. the other two downstairs have amps but id rather
avoid that option upstairs.
Can anyone recommend some good mains powered

Hi, I really don't know their availability in the UK but I recently
bought a pair of the M-Audio AV30 for my Squeezebox Radio and they work
fantastic. The M-Audio AV40 are MUCH better and are only a few dollars
more.

I second the A5 recommendation, they sound great.
But I'm not sure they will meet your budget criteria at $349 US MSRP.
Though they are regularly discounted to $299, and sometimes you can
catch a deal for $249.

The Acoustic Energy Aego-M are quite good - they are a 2.1 system which
may not be what you want. They are at the upper end of the budget but
can be found for about £120

I'm also a happy user of the AudioEngine A5's.
I use them in the bedroom. They are a bit more pricey than your budget
though, so you would need to look at the smaller A2's instead.
The A5's sound great. My only complaint with them is that after it has
switched to standby due to no activity,

I own both the A5 and the Aego M, and think they represent excellent
value.
2 years ago I had to move for over a year to a remote location for
work. I could not take my full blown home system with me, but the A5s
and a SB3 kept me listening music. Highly recommended.

I haven't heard this, and
not been mentioned on the thread so far but I have a pair of Harmon
Kardon soundsticks hooked up to SB touch, this is the main speakers in
my living room and have been impressed with the sound however don't
know how they compare to the Audioengine speakers.
One minor irritant I have with them is

Nor do the AE's - if that is an issue. Normally, the Squeezebox's
volume control should suffice, I guess.

agree, I use the TOUCH volume control (via the touch, my iPENG, or
Squeezeplay running on my laptop). I never actually touch the AE volume
control (although it is

Then again, there is always the snob factor to consider.

Another vote for M-Audio here.
Have a pair of BX5a's connected to an SB3 in my office, that I picked
up brand spanking off the Bay for just over £100. Very impressed.
Amazon UK currently have the AV40 for £82 delivered.
