Need some very small speakers

[DancingPriest]

Whenever I visit my girlfriend, she likes to listen to some music during dinner and watch a movie afterwards.

But there's a problem...

The company is the loveliest, her taste in music is better than mine, she can shop for used vinyl better than me!

Movies, she has an impeccable taste.

But, ferchristssake I cannot take those goddamn laptop speakers anymore... I'm spoiled and snobbish, I'll admit that. There has to be a middle ground though!

Ideally, I'd get a pair of wharfedale 9.1's and leave a 10 watt amp or something at her place. But I know that even that size speaker would annoy her.

My only hope is for something much smaller, say something with a 3.5" driver.

Any Idea's?

Elac Micromagic 2.1 speaker system was €1399,00 now €995,00 in the Cloney sale.

You might have to eat cost conscious meals for a while though!

they are fantastic, bluetooth connection to laptop.

I was thinking more like 200-300 euro :P
At least until I sell a few more cars!

As for cost conscious, I find that winesdirect.ie to be a great upgrade to any system. Albeit a temporary one!

They do look nice though...

that sub is about 7" tall.

that sub is about 7" tall.

I can afford about 1.75" of it!

L O L : - ) How about a more affordable option.....JBL. We used to have an earlier edition as near field studio monitors and they were brilliant. They can't be that expensive. See link below.

Wireless and suitable for laptops....in black as well.

From reading the reviews it doesn't seem like a good choice after all :(

These are the ones I was referring to. Didn't think they made them anymore!
You'd need an amp for these...

These yokes from Creative got good reviews, and with only 2 inch drivers!

I got these B&W ones for streaming music and they're pretty good, although don't have great bass for movies. They were a shade over €400 in Cloneys.

I've a pair of these from Creative Labs on a second system
They always belay the small € and size, well worth a look.
I got mine in PC World.
