RE: MD: Mini speakers for portables...?
=== = NB: Over 50% of this message is QUOTED, please = = be more selective when quoting text = === very true. I have these and they are incredible. it's a portable party. i take mine to clubs just in case the music is bad and i charge folks $3 to get into the bathroom where the music is pumpingyeah baby brynmore If you want the best battery powered speakers, don't mind spending several hundred dollars or carrying a battery that weighs nearly 20 pounds Well, heck, if we're going to spend that much... ;-) Cambridge Soundworks has a portable sub/sat system for $79.99 (free shipping). You can get a carry bag that holds the system and a CD/MD player, and you can get a battery and car adapter for around $70 (the battery has a cigarette lighter jack built-in, so you can use it with other devices, as well). For $20 more you can get one with SPDIF digital in. So looks like the complete system would be about $200 for speakers, carry case, 16-hour battery, and cables. Oh, and it sounds very good. I have the speakers on my computer at home and I don't think you can get better powered speakers for under $100, and possibly under $150. http://www.hifi.com/ - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Oh! D'oh! :) I guess... No more than $40 for those battery powered speakers... Maybe a little more if it's worth it. ~Zach http://start.at/cens - The Cutting Edge of Nothing Significant /|\/|\ I'm thinking of buying some little powered speakers for my portable minidisc player, so I can take my music places where I can't have headphones (like in the kitchen, or at work!) I went over to Minidisco.com and they have a few products. I would like to know what everyone here would recommend. I'm looking for some battery powered speakers that sound as good as possible...

I have faced this in the past for my portable CD player, and have seen lots of "portable" models. They are expensive, and sound is usually poor. I end up buying a pair of computer speakers (I simply carried the portable and tried available models one by one until found a pair that sounded good). They're usually cheap, and powerful, and there are lots of different makes/models/sizes. I'm looking for some battery powered speakers that sound as good as possible... If there is such a thing. :o) mmm.. that is a contradiction, you need self-amplified loudspeakers, and that's going to consume power. I would greatly be interested in opinions of the Sony SRS A41's at Minidisco.com, as well as those strange Sony On-The-Shoulder models... Does anyone have those? How do they sound? I have tried almost all available Sony or other makes models (there isn't much variety) in the past and all sound flaky and with a total lack of dynamics frecuency response... If you desesperately need the battery-powered ones, I'd take the best sounding/less consuming computer speakers set I could find, and cook my own battery system for them. (It's pretty easy, almost all run at 9V or 12V DC.) It's possibly going to coss you less and give more satisfactory results... greets, *---(*)---**-- Francisco J.

RE: MD: Mini speakers for portables...?
Hi I bought some small Sony SRS-A11s in Duty-free at Heathrow for about 13 Scottish pounds. They work OK, use 4 AA cells and are loud enough to fill a hotel room with reasonable MiniDisc volume. They're great for tossing in a travel bag when you're going on a trip. A bonus is that my Sharp 702 mains adaptor fits the DC in socket, so I can power them from the adaptor if necessary. Cheers!

If you want the best battery powered speakers, don't mind spending several hundred dollars or carrying a battery that weighs nearly 20 pounds, the Jensen (used to be Acoustic Reserach) 570 Powered Partners are for you. They're not small or cheap, but they are DC powered stereo speakers. (Of course, they run on AC as well). Each speaker weighs probably 15-20 pounds, is housed in a very well built triangular shaped metallic housing cabinet and contains a 2" tweeter and a 5-1/2" inch woofer. They are rated at 35 watts each. The rechargeable ni cad battery is a 12 volt deal, and you can buy an optional shoulder bag to carry the whole set up. They have great sound but won't give you loud, deep bass-but for that you'd need really powerful speakers, an amplifier and an electric generator-this is a lot more portable than that set up but you wouldn't want to go hiking with it. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
