I have an ancient and hefty cd player/hi fi taking up loads of room in my bedroom, this sort of thing: However i've recently got a decent ipod and have chucked all my music onto that so i'm looking for a fairly decent dock/speaker unit to run directly from that, but i've only really seen the top quality bose ones (which are amazing but well out of budget) and the really tinny sh*te 20 ones that sound worse than headphones, so i'm looking for something in between, with a decent amount of bass. Alternatively rather than an ipod specific dock could i buy a speaker system much like you can for PC's etc. that will take an ipod/3.5mm input? Something like this for example? which can be had for about 70 Budget is around 100, don't mind second hand. I'm not a proper audiophile so i'm not after aural perfection, just a level of quality that won't make me want to cut my ears off
second hand version of the bose companion set like I have? mine was 199 new. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bose-Companio...ting_DesktopComponents_RL?hash=item3a554b15c3
I was gonna post something like this as well. What about active moniter speakers, the type they use in studios? Like this CLICK
I have heard a set of those in west end dj store, were 'ok' sound quality not as good as the bose I posted for sure. Is certainly a good option though, hadn't thought of active speakers. You can just plug in with a headphone to audio lead
What would i need to run a set of "computer" speakers without a computer? I'm after something i can plug into the wall, connect up an ipod via a headphone jack or RCA and it'll play. I have some active speakers i got with my decks, hadn't thought of using them!
the one's i linked too james, the sub is the amp. It has a audio connection in the back of the amp (for computors) and then a headhphone jack in the little remote control thing
