Regarding speakers, I think you must listen yourself! Today I bought my second pair of Audioengine 5's (for the kitchen). I think they are great value, good sound, great looks and they look nice next to the all-black SB3.
There is some noise from them when they are turned on and the SB is off, but it is VERY low, it has to be completely silent in the room and I must have my ear less than an inch from the speaker to be able to hear it. I always turn the speakers off when I'm not going to use them for a while. I do have another setup with passive speakers in the 'media-room' also, but the AE5's are the ones I use the most. -- sand Two Squeezebox 3 QNAP TS-109 Seagate ES 500GB SlimServer Version: 6.5.4 - 12568 - Debian - EN - utf8 Server IP address: 192.168.1.4 Perl Version: 5.8.8 arm-linux-gnu-thread-multi MySQL Version: 5.0.41 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sand's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9856 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44164 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
