Revamping my office next week with a whole new layout and desk etc...
Desk will be c1800mm wide so I'm going to get a nice little set up in there to listen to music as well; it'll be my office but also my hidey-hole when the wife's watching trash in TV!
Just wanted to see what folks opinions are with either going for a dedicated set of powered speakers (ie. Ruark MR1's, EPOZ AKTIMATE Mini's, Q Acoustic BT3's etc...) or if I should spend around the same on a separate amp and stereo standmount speakers etc...?
Speakers will be on the desk and held down with blu-tac probably so stop any further resonance
Music will be via my Mac Mini into a Spitfire MkII DAC and RCA out from there into the speakers (if compatible) or into the amp etc...
Budget max will be £400 and for separates I'd prob get a 2nd hand amp and new speakers such as Q Acoustic 2010's or similar... Amp wise I'll prob look at another NAD C320BEE, Arcam Alpha 8 or Marantz PM6004 et al
Any opinions or further suggestions?!
