Best very small Speakers (at any price)?

I'm building a portable system that will fit in a small equipment suitcase. I'm using a 47 labs Gaincard (50w/ch) amp (that has stepped attenuators to eliminate the need for a preamp) and some yet to be named portable cd player. Has anyone heard some very small (maybe 9"x6"x6" or less) speakers that blow you away? thanks

Hifinut: I understand about the cd player and will probably try to get the 47labs player. I guess its no secret that all the pieces have to be right. Blowing even one piece costs a huge penalty. About the dimensions I gave: those are just a guide to give you some idea about "very small". thanks

How about Linn Kans and Tukans? Proof of the oft used cliche about good things coming in small packages. Very tuneful speakers, in my opinion.

May as well throw in LS3/5a BBC moniters, you pick the brand. Though they require tubes and stands to sound their best.

Thank you everybody. This last weekend I got to listen to a pair of Linn Tukans. They sounded pretty good, but I can clearly see (hear) what SDCampbell meant when he said that none of these speakers would "blow me away". sigh ... I did manage to read about some of the models mentioned above (that I have never heard of) and am interested in listening to them, but have no idea if I can find them (living in AZ). Carl_eber: Please let me know how I can find your review or chat with you more about the Norwex speakers. I'm also leaning towards the Dynaudio 1.1's or the Totem 1sig.
