Whiternoise's system
Decent bookshelves/pc speakers for around £100

I've asked on AVForums as well, but i figured that i may as well ask closer to home too. I'm going to get myself a Denon DM37DAB - a great little micro system apparently that has decent sound quality and DAB/CD plus a USB input for memory sticks.

Next on the list, is speakers. I decided to get the bare bones system, rather than the one with added speakers, because i wanted a bit more control. Currently i'm thinking AudioEngine A2's, since they're pretty small, all the reviews rave about them and the current stock levels seem to reflect this. Current lead time is 10-20 days, with no stock until the 10th of February on most sites.

I've also been recomended the Tannoy Mercury F1 Customs, £90, Mission M72i's, on ebay for £40 to 70 after postage and of course there are things that you find via googling.

So, it's going to be plugged into the Denon via either speaker cable or RCA - but ideally i'd like a solution that would let me rig my PC up to them as well (without having to buy a dedicated amplifier). Important this bit, i'm NOT looking for a full separates build, that goes out of my price range and would also be too bulky (student accommodation and my poor mam has to drive it back at some point, hence getting a micro).

Any ideas or experiences?
