Bookshelf or stand mount help please


Hi everyone.

I am buying my daughter an entry level system and am looking for suggestions on active stand mount speakers in the 1 k range. They will be used with a REL T9 sub. Thank you.

Maybe something from Edifier's bookshelf active speaker range:

Airpuls A100 (incl. sub out), hi-res audio certified, available in 3 different colours

Audio Inputs: AUX, PC, USB, Optical, Bluetooth

Price: 1k bulls eye

 

For casual listening, I am more than happy with the 1380DB

(although without sub out).

Fluance is highly regarded you should check them out.

I believe it has a buyer-friendly return policy... I have them in the office; impressive!

John Darko did some reviews of actives in this price range. Klipsch The Sevens and KEF LSX II LT. Worth a look. Note The Sevens usually go for more, but Amazon has them for $1100 now which is -15%. Not bad.

But yes, check out the others mentioned, and yes, at least consider a "decent" Bluetooth speaker too. However, if you are to whet her appetite for audiophile sound with a soundstage and imaging, then yeah, "real" separate speakers would be better. Good luck. I hope you can convince her that good sound is important in life. Unless she has a "low board or shelf" don’t forget some stands. Nothing fancy needed, Monoprice is fine.
