hi guys,

I am searching a bookshelf or any speaker solution that make me put my 5.1 logicrap speakers aside. I am very tight on budget now so lower the price better... I wrote small to the topic because there is not much option in Turkey (no swans seller here) so i would pick it overseas.

Thanks

How about these?
M1Active 320 USB
They are small, active, powered by USB, and have a flat response, maybe a little bit low in the bass, but thats what you can expect for the size..

Could you give us a preferred price range?

Budget is definately needed. Although I would advise aginst "active" speaker unless you have the money to buy a quality set.

First thanks for helping everybody,

My budget is between $100-$200. But shipping costs about $40 from overseas so that leaves me with 160$ max.

I've just bought a pair of AudioEngine A2 for desktop use at work. The are excellent for this application. Great sound even at low to moderate volume levels. Good imaging and clariy. A huge step up from the basic computer/desktop speakers I'd been using before.

They list for $199, but shipping was free and I found a 10% off coupon code. They may have European distribution.

I'd go with the Audioengine A2 as well

I've had mine well over a year, they are unbelievably good despite their small size!

Google and read some reviews

+1 to the A2s, I got mine last month and loved them. They are very affordable at their price and extreme good valued considering the quality you get. I have mine hooked to my DAC1 Pre and they are great. I am mostly a headphone listener, but the A2 serves its purpose extremely well when I want to play some music with speakers.

If you think they image well standing on the desk, try to elevate them with a pile of books or something. When you get them off the desk and up to ear level you'll be in image heaven

I've used mine on a pile of CD's, been hunting like mad for a decent desktop stand. Just recently found the exact type I was dreaming of, hopefully the stands will be delivered by the postman on Friday

This is what I got, cost about $15, made of solid MDF and about 10,5" in height (perfect for me!)
