Hi, I'm looking forward to buy a SqueezeBox. I don't want to keep my old hi-fi around, as I want to keep things simple, and it's not that special anyway. So I'm looking in into powered bookshelf speakers. The gotcha is that my current speaker are in a bookshelf cabinet, with books on the side and top, and this is the obvious place to put the new speakers. With kids running around, I can't really consider other options.
I searched the forum, and it seems that one of the favorite is the AudioEngine 5. It's in the price range I was considering. The dimension are also similar to my old speakers. What worries me is that the bass-reflex is at the back (my current speaker has it in front). My feeling is that I would be loosing all the bass extension of the bass-reflex, and that may also impact the response of the bass woofer. First question : are my worry about the AudioEngine 5 bass-reflex overblown ? Has anybody tested the AudioEngine 5 against a wall or in a shelf ? Second question : is there alternative speakers in the USA, similar in price/size/feature as the AudioEngine 5 but more compatible with bookshelf use ? Thanks in advance...
