Hi everyone
I'm putting together a second system for my study and kitchen (2 sets of speakers) in my new house. So far I've got:
Macbook Air
Cyrus 6XP + 8 power
Metrum Acoustics Mini Dac Octave (just delivered and very nice!)
ATC SCM 11 (for study)
I need a small set of speakers for my kitchen. The obvious choice (I think) are the Neat Iotas, but they'd be sitting on a worktop with nothing behind them, and being rear-ported I'd imagine they'd need something for the bass to bounce off. Are there any other small speakers I should be looking out for (preferably not rear-ported), or would the sound of the Neats not be compromised too much by the lack of rear wall? Budget would be +/- that of the Neats: 650 pounds.
Many thanks
