Small hi-fi

I'm moving abroad to a small shared flat and I can't take
my monitors or anything like that so I thought I'd treat
myself to a small amp+speaker combo to listen to music.

Any of you lads have some experience in this area? Any
recommendations?

I was thinking a topping tp22 amp and some q-acoustics
speakers. Cheap and should fill the room hopefully.

why not get active near field monitors? monitors with amp
inside. they are matched well and compact. and have
balanced or digital in.

had to get that out; sorry. we're back

Cheap and should fill the room hopefully.

well, there it is: which room? how big is it? how thick are
the walls? are you prepared to rearrange the furniture three
times to minimize pesky echoes? what if there's a single
magic spot by the door that sounds like a submarine tube
delay when you clap in a precise spot (charming) but then
resonates in response to certain frequencies (maddening).

how's the powah in this completely undefined room? top notch
monitors from adam (germany -- serious) still picked up AM
radio in a house with shit power until i bought a $60 rack
power conditioner. immediately gone. i promptly bought a
bunch more and discovered it also improved the quality i got
out of my collection of ntsc/composite ccd cameras.

i don't know much about small setups, really, but i do know
about rooms being pits of unexplected complexity and bees.
fuck it and use headphones is my position

I just wanna listen to music while reading in bed without
headphones on. Nothing special. I have access to a studio 10
mins away on the u-bahn for 'real work'

you can get cheaper amps that dont have a digital in. all
analogue.

many people dont want them cause they have no digital in.

i got a marantz thing for like 20 euro off ebay. 90's
thjng.

its nice cause its all analogue, yet it has a digital remote
that I can control an analogue motor pot for the
volume....means no converting to digital and back to analog
just for the volume and bass and treb and balance. it has no
digital in though.

if you have an ipod or somthing ..just using the analog out
into the amp would be just fine.

might save a few quid.
