For fun as much as anything, I have recently added a Wolfson card and a wi-fi dongle to my Raspberry Pi and got it working as a player.
Now I'm wondering about using it as the basis of a compact system in my workshop (about a 10' x 14' space). I don't want to spend too much money on it, but I don't want it to sound crap. I'm thinking £150 max because that would roughly make the whole system cost about what I was happy to pay for the Boom. I'm intrigued by these class T amps that you see these days for not very much money and which sometimes get good reviews. What speakers though? I wondered about something like the Wharfedale Diamonds? Would they be sensitive enough? The other option is active speakers but I have no experience of these and a lot of them are advertised as 'studio monitors'; as I understand, that has some implications for how they sound and I don't know if they would be suitable in my room. I'm not after huge volume or thumping bass, just something that sounds reasonably balanced over a wide variety of music (rock, classical, jazz, folk, all sorts really). I'd be grateful for any suggestions, even negative ones as to what doesn't work so well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zoltan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9998 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101703
