I was considering powered speakers also since you can just get a headphone to rca cord and plug in a discman. There was a pair of audioengine m5's for $100 on craigslist but I missed it. They sold in two days :-( At this point it might be some cheap boombox type stereo that I can charge on the best buy card since I'm blowing $500 on some cullen power cords for my system tommorrow.
Low budget, just for fun
So I'm lookong to buy my girlfriend a stereo for christmas. Here's the catch: I'm trying to piece together a receiver, cd player and speakers, all used for a little more than the price of a boom box from say, best buy or whetever, but it has to sound way better than said boom box. I found an onkyo receiver ($45), sony dvd / cd player ($45), and some infinity sm 122 floorstanding speakers ($75 with crappy rca receiver, going to offer $50 for just the speakers). Anyways, this is actually pretty fun trying to piece together the best system you can for the least amount of money possible. Anyone else out there do something similar? It would be interesting to have an audio show with a $200 system limit and see who could come up with the best sound!
