    Looking for powered bookshelf speakers

    Is there such a thing?

    Basically I want to buy my wife a Linksys music bridge for her birthday. It basically allows you to stream music (wirelessly) to wherever you put it. It has RCA, line, and optical out for audio.

    Would I be better off just buying some powered computer speakers? Or are there better sounding speakers that I could use? I don't want to buy a receiver to power the speakers, I just want to connect speakers. My budget for the speakers are ~$100, give or take a $20. Any suggestions is appreciated. Thanks!

      What about these?

      I like these because they are self powered, no subwoofer and they seem decent. My wife isn't going to nit pick over one speaker or the other, but I will occasionally use them as well.

          Have you thought about a Roku Soundbridge as music player? www.rokulabs.com

          Sorry, no advice on speakers available.

              Yep, I looked at those. Most of them are too expensive and beyond my needs. I like the linksys because it is simple and cheap

                  OK

                  What I like about them is that the TV can stay off when listening to music. The M1000 isn't that expensive.
