8009514:Thaiman:
imo you can't get a decent active pair for that price!
The starting point would be Adam A5 which I think is around £500 although Tannoy active worth a look at £100 less
Yeah, I see your point Thaiman. But my thinking is as follows - the sound reproduction out of pretty well all modern TVs is pretty dire, due to the tiny speakers fitted. So, not wishing to go the AV receiver route, thought I would utilise the audio outs into active speakers. Even at the real cheapo end of the range, its bound to sound better than the speakers fitted in the TV.
Then my money will be on Yamaha Sound bar, you can pick them up around £250ish. If you must have a pair of Active speakers then have a look at Tannoy reveal 5A.
