Hello,
I'd like to install a minimalist system in my kitchen composed of a
squeezebox receiver and 2 active speakers (always powered on).
Do you have any idea of the power consumption of these models (my short
list !) :
- Acoustic Energy Aego M
- AudioEngine A5
Thanks for the advice :)
AudioEngine A5 are the only speakers I've found with signal sensing. Is
there any other alternative ?

The Squeezebox Boom has great speakers. They auto-power on/off when you
play. They also use high efficiency class D amplifiers. They have been
compared to the Audioengine A2 speakers in quality.

It sounds like you already have the player in place, and you just want
to transport to the kitchen. Unless I am mistaken, you might not want to
go to squeezeboxes. Maybe a non apple option is the very simple logitech

For a kitchen I'd also consider Audioengine A2. They, too, have signal
sensing, take up less space and have an unbelievable sound for the size.
They don't beat the A5, of course yet forget about the initial they
can't have bass at that size reaction.

hum, A2 has also good features !
I'm just worried about the output power of these speakers. My kitchen
measures 4 m by 4 m approximately. Is it enough ?

depends on what you want. If you want party level, maybe not. For a
kitchen most likely yes.

Just want to add some figures to the thread.
I have a pair of A5 and a Receiver connected, and in standby they
together consume ~10W.
When not playing music, but in active mode, they together consume
~15-16W.
When playing at moderate level the consumption is in the range of 18W.
