I'd also suggest looking at the JBL LSR305s ($240/PR on sale). Self powered with a Chromecast audio would give you some good results for under $300; I've got a pair in white. My main rig ends with some Scansonic MB-2.5s, and low to moderate volume listening doesn't immediately favor my tower speakers. I'm very impressed, especially for the price.
Audioengine HD3 vs. Sonos
Hi everyone,
I got a little money for christmas and I am thinking about creating a small bedroom system. Budget needs to be below $400 and it needs to look good and be convenient. Options I have considered so far include the Audioengine HD3 and a pair of Sonos Play 1s. If I get the HD3's I would mate them to a Amazon dot. i also considered going cheap and getting a Amazon Echo or going expensive and getting a Sonos Play 5 but both have their cons considering their relative cost and that they would be used as a mono speaker. What do you audio people think?
Regards,
Brian Imel
