If your plan is to use it in your room for music and movies, why does it need to be small?

Through the years I've been through dozens of "computer" speakers. I've had a couple decent sets but just have never been satisfied. So last month I went to a local pawn shop and grabbed an old 80's stereo receiver. Mine in specific is a nice old sony. Just ran a stereo 1/8" -> RCA cable into one of the inputs. Now I've got some real sound, and I can put whatever speakers I want on it. I spent $50 on the stereo (retailed about $300 new!) I just happened to have a set of bookshelf speakers, but you can find quite decent for pretty cheap if you look around... or craigslist them!

Small is perhaps a bad word. Not huge might be better. Something to sit on the table next to my bed. I'm not looking for a full stereo setup or anything.

The speakers I'm using are these Altec Lansing computer speakers from college, which would mean they're about 7 years old. The model number totally escapes me but they're nothing fancy and cost barely $150 even then, but they have a decent number of watts per channel and a good sub so I figure if it ain't broke why fix it? They're in one corner of my living room and plugged into an Airport Express, through which I play my iTunes. It's a great wireless setup. :)

I'm a good sound freak so i have CAV MT-1 sound system. It rocks!!! It produces really great quality and no neighbors have come for a visit because of big noise.

I'm a big fan of LaCie's firewire speaker. They're small, look really nice and got a great sound!

AirPort Express + stereo = awesomeness.

I have a set of Logitech speakers (like these) and they are absolutely fantastic. So much so that I sometimes hook them up to my TV, too. :)

Those are nice ErinR

And yes elloithere, but that would require owning a stereo. Something I've not had since 2003. hehe

I hadn't even considered FireWire speakers, thanks macsterdam! Good idea!
