I'm very interested in this thread. I'm trying to find some speakers for my desktop and the audiophile in me keeps ratcheting up what I'm looking for and the bean counter in me says something reasonable. There is a guy on Soundstage who recommends the Ref. 3A Dulcet but that seems a bit extravagent. I was wondering about the Omega 3's. They are efficient for your needs if not exactly small. Others have recommended the Boston Acoustics micro speakers and NHT Super Zeros. My Aego 2's are small but include a subwoofer and are decent. I'd just like to do better than that.
Very Small Desktop Speakers
Can anyone give me advice on small to very small speakers that could sit on a desktop? I have moved to a new open office situation where I have walls but no ceiling so my old Plinius 8200 and B&W 805 speakers are just too instrusive to some the others around me. My source would be my Apple powerbook or maybe a small CD player. Let's face it, sound quality is not the most important issue but size is. I was thinking of a Sophia "Baby" amp or something equivalently small--so speaker efficiency is also a consideration.
thanks for the tips in advance.

I've been looking for a small pair of speakers to replace my B&W LM monitors. I've been looking at the JM Labs Sib http://www.audioplusservices.com/frame.html which retails for $350/pair. Also looking into the Gallo Due' http://www.roundsound.com/due.html which retail for $1200/pair. Both speakers would have to be used with a subwoofer. Good luck, |
Tannoy is coming out with a stylish little pair of monitors next week called the arena. Retail is $800 pair. http://www.tannoy.com/ArenaOverview |
