It would be cheap and easy to run a Squeezebox Touch directly into the Quads. The analog outs on my Duet aren't bad at all, and the Touch is supposed to be better. The digital volume control seems fine to me, too. Not sure how you'd use active speakers for music and TV without a preamp, though.
Best method to stream music into Quad 12L Active.
Hello everyone,
I am slowly getting back into the hobby after a very long hiatus and want to build my setup around active speakers simply because of cost. I originally wanted to get the audioengine a5+ but am strongly leaning towards the quad 12L Active speakers because from what I understand, their just a better value and performer than the audio engines. I want my speakers for music but also as enhancements for my television.
Considering these speakers are active what would be the best method to setup a wireless music server from my computer or wireless hard drive? What would you recommend? I do not want to spend tons of money maybe at most 350 - 500?
What would be the best and most cost effective way to get quality sound into those quads that hopefully has line level control (volume control) considering these are powered speakers.
