    Are the speakers for your desk or for 'room filling' hi-fi?

    Well they will not fit on my computer station so i will either have to have a pair wall mounted or i could make a shelf,not ideal i know but better than listening through the mac.
    thanks

    I'd suggest a pair of JBL Control 1s - they come with wall mounting brackets and are pretty good mini-monitors.

    i highly recommend a pair of mission 70's, the new style black moulded ones. They make excellent near field monitors, are shielded and dont need a lot of power. They were a riot when i used them with my PC

    they can also be wall mounted

    Sell the amp and get a second hand pair of Alesis Monitor One Active MKII. Usually about £120 s/h and will beat the pants off much else you could get.

    Having built in amps is neater, too.

    Maybe a pair of Spirit Absolute 2 Actives
