Hi,
I am looking for advice on a compact stereo setup in my study (9feet by 7.5 feet).
I am unable to audition speakers ,so i’m afraid i will have to make a purchase based on reviews/suggestions. These will be primarily used to play Spotify and Amazon music HD from a MacBook via a chord mojo/cyrus soundkey. Bluetooth is not mandatory but will be an added bonus.
The speakers will be placed in a book shelf and the max available height and depth of the shelf is 30 cm
The budget i have for both speakers+amp or Active speakers is £500
I am on the fence with separates or active at the moment. I appreciate that the separates gives me the option of chopping and changing as technology advances.
However, The active speakers will mean reduced clutter, so open to any ideas that may swing me away from the separates route. From a price and convenience point the klipsch R41PM hits the sweet spot.
I have auditioned the Oberon 5 and B&W 606 in the past ,so I’m hoping the following two won’t be too different in sound signature.
Active options i have short listed are
