Bookshelf Style Speakers For Garage ~£100-£150

[Pulse]

Hi guys,

Hope this is the best section to post in.

Looking for bookshelf/monitor style speakers to install in a garage. I only have a few criteria that are musts; must be Bluetooth and must have a cable that I can easily replace for a longer run.

Just looking for abit of stereo speakers to pop up in the garage, I know for that price they aren't going to be amazing sound quality so just the best I can get really. I don't want to mess about having to get amps and extras, just want some speakers with built in Bluetooth so I can go in, connect my phone and away I go with one plug. I want to be able to replace the cable as I'm not sure how long it'll need to be but I'm sure most are quite short. Some I have looked at use their own style cable which doesn't look easily to replace. I want them mounted high up, so easy mounting would be a bonus but obviously I can just get speaker brackets.

I've looked at JBL Control 1, some of the Bluetooth Edifiers, the Mackies etc.

Suggest away!

I was concerned about the materials that would be able to withstand being out there, so I'm sure you're right and I should stay away from wooden units.

I did think that there was a problem with the JBLs, forgot that it was passive. I did think about an amp but just thought it's another thing to require power and to find somewhere to wire up. Don't get me wrong, not end of the world, as I've also seen loads mentioned about the Wharfedale Diamonds. I may consider it if I do end up with better speakers for the same price, but I doubt it when having to buy a dedicated amp as well.

Should have also expanded, my concern isn't about the power cable, more about the speaker cable. As I want the speakers each side of the garage, I was concerned those using a special cable wouldn't be long enough, rather than just standard speaker cable.

But thanks for the advice.
