For the past 2-3 years I've been using the Audioengine A5s for music, gaming, and general TV/movies. I've been extremely happy with the sound quality, especially the clear, non-overpowered bass. However, recently when I've been using them for playing music during parties, they overheat fairly quickly (1.5-2 hours) and either the satellite speaker cuts out or the thermal overload circuit kicks in and essentially turns the speakers off.
I've tried several different sets and they've all had the same issues, so I know it's not a defective set. I'm looking to sell my A5s and get a similar set of speakers within a similar price range that wouldn't have the issues that I described above.
What would you guys recommend? Would I be better off just picking up a receiver and some non-powered speakers instead?
edit: Note that I normally use these speakers with a Macbook Pro or an iPod for music (I know, not very audiophile-ish sources...I enjoy nice sound but I'm not obsessed with it or anything). However, eventually I'm sure I'll be using these speakers with an HTPC that can put out better quality sound, so I guess keep that in mind with recommendations.
