Recommended 2.1 Speakers??

[admin_exported]

Hi,

I'm looking to replace a pair of speakers with a less obtrusive set up and I figure that a small pair of speakers (the less obtrusive the better) coupled with an out-of-the-way subwoofer is probably the answer. I already have a technics amp (an old friend with an excellent sound quality) that has the standard L-R outputs on it.

Two questions here...

1 - Can anybody recommend a 2.1 set (only Bose springs to mind...any others?); and

2 - How does 2.1 work with a standard amp? does the subwoofer connect to the amp and then the small speakers to the subwoofer?

Any answers / suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance gurus.

Most 2.1 speakers are "Active" meaning there is an amp built-in to the speakers.

Sound quality can be VERY good - see my recommendations below.

Audioengine A2 or A5

Acoustic Energy Aego M2s

If you use your existing amp..sky's the limit....well, the limit is how good your amp is.

For that kind of amp I'd be looking at Wharfedale's
