Bud, certainly not off topic, actually right on topic. I have always found most powered speakers with few exceptions to be a bit of a compromise but lets see what others say. Frank Subject: bookshelf speakers MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Hi gang, I'm new here and don't know what is off topic but have a question about speakers. I am moving from a good size house into a converted garage apartment so am having to get rid of a lot of things including my floor speakers. I'm thinking of getting some "bookshelf speakers'" and am wondering what some good ones would be. I was thinking of unamplified ones, although my tuner-amp is about 20 years old and wonder if it's output would be as good as that of amplified speakers I would appreciate any input about some quality bookshelf speakers. Thanks.. Bud Schwab W 6 Z Y P Malibu, California *** You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the Blind Audio/Video email list.
