Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch + which compact powered speakers?
I'd consider the Edifier R1280T: $100. Got to be the value leader at that price. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016P9HJIA/ Apesbrain's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=738 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116039 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch + which compact powered speakers?
I like the Wirecutter reviews, because they usually do a good job of explaining their choices with a minimum of jargon, so you can decide if your criteria are the same as the reviewers'. The Presonus Eris 3.5 is their budget pick for "best computer speakers" and is within your price range: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-computer-speakers/#budget-pick-presonus-eris-e3-5-bt The version without bluetooth is just $100. I see mostly good reports on these speakers, but I have never heard them in operation. The Mackie that's their top choice is out of your price range, but some smaller Mackie models are under $150. Be sure to read the comments about those in the section on "The Competition," though. It might also be worth your time to visit the section on powered speakers in their guide to bookshelf speakers: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-bookshelf-speakers/ LMS 8 nightly running on Raspberry Pi OS. Mostly virtual players, occasionally with SB Radio, Boom or Classic.

I bought a set of Neumi speakers, I posted about them here: https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?114270-Aopen-Chromebase-Mini-with-Alpine-Linux-Squeezelite-and-Jivelite=1024799=1#post1024799 They are pretty nice I guess but probably don't fit your definition of compact. sodface's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116039 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I believe a slightly earlier version may get in budget on the secondary market - and they got very good reviews too, being more or less the same cones and amp.

[SlimDevices: Touch] Touch + which compact powered speakers?
I am looking to use a spare touch to replace a (fading screen) Boom. But I need some powered speakers to go with it. I would like to keep it very compact (the touch + the speakers), so looking for suggestions on small powered speakers to pair with the touch. Any recommendations for speakers in the $100-150 range (or happily less if possible)?
