Speakers for University

I'm looking for a good set of speakers to put in my room for university that can connect to my laptop and my phone, I have a budget of up to £300 to spend, any suggestions?

Anyway. With £300 you could grab yourself a pair of these, leaving about £150-180 for an amp.

I'd say keep it simple to start with. Get yourself a nice set of speakers and an amp (plus cables of course). DAC and other stuff could then be added on later if you want to upgrade the setup. Buying too much on a low budget means you may just end up chucking the original equipment when it's upgrade time, which clearly isn't particularly efficient.

Anyway. With £300 you could grab yourself a pair of these, leaving about £150-180 for an amp. The latter is a bit more about personal preference since different amps have different features - you can get basic ones with just line in, or go for something a bit more advanced with DAB, optical in, Internet radio and other goodies if you'd like to add a bit more versatility. I'd suggest having a browse through on What Hi-Fi and see if there's anything you like there.

And don't forget your cables. As a rule of thumb you should spend 1/10th of your budget on those to avoid quality degradation. Make sure you've also got the right connectors (bare wire, banana plug, or spades) for your amp/speaker set. The speaker cables are the most important you'll buy. Finally you'll need to sort out cables to connect up your TV/laptop, which will depend on which amp you get and the connections on your devices. If you can then opt for digital optical/coax connections: if your amp includes a DAC it's likely to be a lot better than the one in your TV or laptop.

Thanks for the replies guys, however it all sounds very complicated - all I want to be able to do is be able to play music off of my speakers via bluetooth on my phone and then plug them in or keep it wireless to watch shows off of my laptop, any suggestions for speakers like that?
