Recommendations for Airport Express driven speakers please

[admin_exported]

Hi I unfortunately had to put my beloved separates system in the loft. Don't ask!! Anyway, I now have all my music in MP3 format and I am thinking of buying an Apple Airport Express base station which would link up to a decent pair of speakers. Could anyone recommend speakers that would be compatible with the base station and be under £200 mark? Cheers

As you'll presumably need some sort of amplification to go with the speakers, I'd suggest the Audioengine A5 active speakers (£200) which have built-in amplification of 45W per channel, two 3.5mm inputs on the left speaker, a USB output and, most usefully in your case, a mains AC output for use with Apple's Airport Express.

Oh, and they sound fantastic too, which is why we made them our Best Buy Active Speakers in our 2007 Awards.

Great, thanks. I'll look into them...
