Bose 901 series with and ipod.

Getting back to the OP question, I didn’t realize that these speakers are active. I had read the description on the Bose site and was specifically looking for that, so my bad. At any rate if they are active speakers all the OP needs is a Bluetooth receiver such as the Audioengine that I referenced earlier. Does anyone know if the iPod does Bluetooth? It has been a long time since I’ve had one.

A more general point is active speakers with DSP.  The only active speakers that I have ever heard are Audioengine.  However there are so many new AS on the market, and I might be moving in a few years and starting to consider AS for their space conserving values.  Are there other brands that add DSP as well?

The Yamaha integrated posted would work well, as long as you use the 901 eq.  

The speakers require amplification - ACTIVE refers to the separate equalizer.

The Audioengine B1 (already mentioned) should do the job for <$200 if the OP already has a suitable amplifier.
