Recommendation for small active bookshelf speakers?

[Gazjam]

Looking for the above for the bedroom system, budget up to £300.
Thinking Q Acoustics or Audioengine A5’s?

Any other reccy’s appreciated, thanks. :)

Edifier speakers are quite good and you can buy them easily on Amazon. Maybe worth a look.

think the q a bt3's are discontinued but you might still find a set. my red ones, although rarely used now sound pretty good, and have a sub on end

Thanks guys for the suggestions.

Hadn’t heard of the Edifers before, looking them up they are blooming gorgeous things, very different from other active bookshelves, look quite high end...

Very well reviewed,

internal 24/192 Dac, Bluetooth, DSP, 3 separate Class D internal amps with Wima caps, these things look serious.
£100 over budget, but think I’ll go for these.
For a bedroom system mostly listening at night, so won’t be blasting them out or looking for deep sub bass.

These’ll do nicely, job done.
Thanks Paul for the heads up on these.

How about a set of adams. I nearly bought a pair a7x but I think the smaller ones are just as well thought of. I think they are the a3x.

highly impressed with some little zensor pico i just got , i can only think the zensor 3 must be well worth a try and i guess within your budget

Pulled the trigger on the Edifers, love the looks and they seem to take the sound side of things seriously.
Looks a serious bit of kit.

Cool. :thumbsup:

Thanks for for all the suggestions, appreciated.

Picked up a set of these to sit them on, don’t want to have speaker stands in the bedroom so will be sitting on top of a cabinet.

Used in recording studio’s, supposed to work pretty well.

Just want to get the best out the speakers in a less than ideal environment, these should help.

From the few Edifier speakers I have heard they are really good, especially for their size. Not expensive either.

Gazjam the Audioengine speakers are very good..

Got Colin a set of Audioengine's a couple of years ago for Christmas and they are lovely speakers.... go for it... ;)

Gaz, sent you a PM, but as it’s not an overly personal thing, and in case you overlooked it, RM tried to deliver the SBT yesterday, but apparently you weren’t in, I believe now action is required on your behalf to complete them getting it to you. ��

[Gazjam]

Hi Craig,
tried to PM you but inbox was full.

Yeah, at work when they tried to deliver it yesterday.
Collected it from PO sorting office this afternoon.

Hook it all up when I get home after work.

Thanks mate.

I used to use Edifier PC speakers, they were great.
