Hi there,
I’m new to volumio. Since yesterday volumio 2.118 is running using an RPi3/Touch display.
I already ordered a PiFi DAC+.
Now I’m looking for loud speakers, but there are is a endless choice on market.
The ones I’m looking for should be…
Would be great to get some suggestions. Which pair of loud speakers does the community recommend?
If I were you, I’ll have a look at Q acoustics 2020 or 2020i. Plenty of good reviews. I never listened them, but for my office this a possible choice for the future ( or 3030)
But maybe to expensive for you…
Or other choice eltax monitor iii
Eltax are looking great, but in germany I can’t find any shop to buy from.
A silly question, I think, but I do have to ask: all of those speakers offer 2 connectors, Cinch/RCA red and white. The DAC offers white und red connectors, too, but only two of them, not 4 connectors for 2 speakers.
Okay, I have to connect those speakers to an amp / a/v-receiver, there is no way to connect them directly to the DAC?!
Q acoustics 2010i EUR 89/pc… is this comparable to teufel.de/stereo/ultima-20-mk2-p12793.html ?
If you do not want to use an amplifier, look for active speakers. Active speakers can be connected directly to a DAC.
Look at suppliers like
Audioengine
Krk
M-audio
But also a lot of the ‘normal’ speaker manifacturers have Active speakers in their lineup. Look at
Klipsch
Dali
Yamaha
Pioneer
Argos
B&w
Enough choise. Active speakers will always be a little bit more expensive than their passive sibblings as they have build in amplification.
My suggestion, go and listen to some:)
Good luck
With a risk to commit a blasphemy and swear in church !
Edifier (Chinese made) NO high end speaker ! but is given good criticism , my plan is to buy a pair of Studio 1600 TIII 2.0 as garage speakers (active speakers) for under 100 Euro
You are looking for active speakers as I get it. Otherwise I’d recommend Micca mb42 which I am using.
Damn good for a 4’ speaker.

Hi,
I´ve bought Eltax Monitor iii, which are looking great…
Now there is only one question left:
As I want to connect those speakers to my raspberry pi 3 running volume 2, I´ve bought a PiFi DAC+ from AliExpress. At the moment it is shipping for approx. 2-3 weeks.
Meanwhile I´d like to think about how to connect the speakers… I want to build one headless RPi-Volumio for my Marantz SR-5010 A/V-receiver, one with touch screen for my working place as an internet radio und one for my hobby room…
So, at the moment I am thinking about this hardware configuration:
But…
These are the cheapest i found. A pair would cost some cent.
Please excuse my joke.
Pioneer SP-BS22 (about 130$) - it’s like Porta Pro among the bookshelf speakers if you know what I mean. 
They will deliver 100% guarantied fun to their owner. I owned them but now gone on the next level with Wharfedale Denton 80th Anniversary Edition.
Can anyone recomend a pair of floorstanders or bookshelf for a 40sqm room? Amp is an audiolab.
Would mission 782 do the trick? Focal 714? MA BX5?
If they’re available where you are, I can heartily recommend a set of these:
qacoustics.co.uk/q-acoustic … -pair.html
I have a set, driven by an RPi and various TPA3116, TDA7498 & TPA3251 amps - very impressed.
Thx.
What s the sound like? Warm or cold?
I’d say warm and enveloping; depending upon the music, of course. Eva Cassidy is crystal clear, Pearl Jam forceful, Prodigy wide ranging and orchestral/choir all around you. At all volumes (from nearfield listening to party time) reproduction is sublime, for the price. They are extremely well built and finished. It’ll be a fair while until I need to upgrade, I think.
I can confirm what Yatsushiro says… im using as tube pre a little bear p1, as amp kingrex, Q3050 speakers…great 3D soundstage and realistic sound!
