Opinions on Audioengine speakers?


I had bought Audioengine A2 speakers and I thought they were pretty amazing. I sent them back because I could not control the volume remotely... and I didn't have a receiver.

So, would there be any conflict with connecting a powered speaker to a receiver? The powered ones are ironically cheaper than the passive ones.

Has anyone owned the Audioengine? Is there a comparable speaker for a better price?

Opinions on the Denon 1911 are welcome as well.

Would a amp set up suit me better? I could only hook up one device at a time, correct? I would need to hook up to the TV and hook up the amp. Could I control the volume remotely with this type of set up?

I consider myself the type of person who can figure things out but this home theater stuff is like a foreign language to me. It has been six months in my new apt. and I haven't got a setup because I just don't know what the best option is. Also, I am more of a music person than a movie person if that will help in any way.

Thanks for any advice. It is appreciated.

As my great-niece testified to 4 years ago, Audio Engine active speakers combined with an Orbit turntable with built-in preamp totally slayed her Crosley system! What more do you need to know! WOW!
