My six year-old and I enjoy listening to music on the living room hifi and I decided it was time to set up a small system in her bedroom.
This system had to provide good quality sound, but be able to withstand a wild playdate.
The speakers would possibly be the most vulnerable element of the system and I did the most research on those.
The Audio Engine 2 speakers that we ended up with are a perfect fit. They are small enough to fit anywhere, have a BIG sound, are self-powered (which solved the issue of finding an amp)and the drivers are virtually indestructible.
The Ipod, Arcam dock and interconnect were salvaged from my system and completed our little budget start-up. It all sounds great with lossless files.
We enjoy listening to Ella, Sharon Jones, Joni Mitchell and lots of other music by people not named Hannah or Justin.
This was one of the first docks that was built to exploit the Ipod's hifi potential. I enjoyed it in my main system for a couple of years before giving it to my daughter.
Audio Engine AE2 self-powered speaker
The reviews on these are right; amazing quality and big sound for small dollars.
Audigon cables unknown
Purchased a few years back on Agon and enlisted for the bedroom system.
