I have a small office in my flat and I am looking for a pair of speakers to connect to my PC to play music files from my PC hard drive via ITunes or something similar. I don’t want to buy an amp or Dac so powered is probably my route, I did see a nice pair of Yamaha speakers which fit the bill but they were about £500 although I would rather want to spend less but if that’s the budget I am looking at so be it. I have various wav/flac/high res files but I can convert if necessary.

I've been warehousing speakers for MarkAudio Sota for the last few months and have taken the opportunity to use a pair of thier tozzi speakers for my PC listening. They aren't powered but I just use a little USB T-amp from eBay which I think was £50, it all sounds great.

I have been using these Audioengine A2+ and quite happy- they are very small but sound great in my office

These are very good. Seem to defy the laws of physics! I bought some recently for studio monitoring. Extremely clean, detailed, precise stereo imaging and flat frequency response. Useful review in Sound on Sound:

Yes, I picked up a pair of these after seeking recommendations here, last year. Excellent little ‘speakers. When I ordered the only choice of finish was black or white. For some reason the pair I was sent is red! Look lovely though so no complaints from me.

I just picked up a pair of these, thanks for the pointer. They've no right to sound so good, quite incredible for the size really and run wired or over bluetooth. £250 well spent!

Haven't tried them over Bluetooth yet but they continue to surprise me. Glad you like yours. I actually bought them because one of the Flying Mole amplifiers blew in my PMC TB2A speakers and as they are no longer repairable I thought I would try these and build some Class D monoblocks at a later stage, I don't feel in a huge rush as these sound so good and are mega portable.

I was dragged to John Lewis yesterday and they had some very dusty MR1's on display. They were not playing music, but they look and feel like a childs toy. I am glad I didn't go near them when searching for active speakers last year. What I settled for in the end were a pair of KRK Rokit 5, and I am glad I did because they are absolutely superb. Don't overlook if searching for small, powered monitors, regardless of application.
