Thanks, I saw the wireless adaptor but will skip it for now and plug directly, I'd like tome help with proper positioning.
Some help with setting up active desk speakers.
Hello,
My question pertains to equipment that does not quite reach the realm of high-end audio gear generally discussed here, but having been influenced by a good family friend and audiophile who once recommended AudiogoN, maybe you guys can help me!
For personal listening I used a Stax SRM-T1 with a SR Lambda Signature earspeakers, but since moving continents, this set up has had to stay at home.
Since I have two impending moves within the next two years, size and weight are necessary considerations, and although I would love to have a bigger setup, it simply isn't possible right now. A baby on the way has also limited the budget allocation, so to be honest, I wasn't even considering purchasing speakers.
Then I popped into a store in Denmark and asked for their active lineup, and had a chance to listen and compare a few different models from Monitor Audio, Audio Engine, and Audio Pro. I listened to Audio Pro's Addon Five, and the output fit the bill. Much more pleasant than larger, more expensive units, and perfect size.
I struggled with finding relevant reviews, it looks like they don't necessarily make their way to reviewers, and the company's website is definitely geared towards a more design centric consumer marked.

However, the performance did stand out, enough for me to order a pair.
The source for these will be an Apogee One, with a blue-jeans RCA cable.
My question is, sitting on a fairly large desk besides my laptop, what can I do, stand wise/positioning wise, to optimize the output from these small units?
I've not ordered the angled base stands visible in the pictures, and wonder about positioning them atop books...
Thank you!
