We just bought two self-powered speakers, Mackie 450s. Setup was very easy. The speakers came with power cables, and nothing else. We got an XLR-XLR cable to chain the two speakers. And an XLR adapter. Plugged in our tiny iPod shuffle — and huge sound filled our apartment.

Awesome. Never have speakers so powerful been controlled from so tiny a device. Now we can throw out our pointless high-end amp, which they said was perfectly matched to the speakers, now defunct, that we bought. Liars.
