With either a Boom or Radio. If you don't have WiFi then the Boom is a great choice. If you think you may go to WiFi in the future, then the Radio with the battery pack would give you the most flexibility. -- JeffHart You know, I'm all for progress. It's change I object to. Mark Twain

Actually I would also add a (cheap) wlan-router. Connect it to your Mac and you have a wireless music network for the Radio/Boom mentioned above (sharing the Macbook's wifi should work, too). -- copperstate copperstate's

Greetings I currently have a Duet with an additional receiver and I love them both. I will be going to the beach for a couple of weeks and would like to bring my music collection along. I plan to bring my Macbook Pro (OS 10.6.3) with my 500GB+ music collection on an external esata hard drive.

What price range are you going for with the self powered speakers? I use AudioEngine A5's, MSRP is $349 (they are often sold under $300, keep an eye out for sales from retailers). These sound incredible for their size price. ;) -- toby10

Logitech Z-2300 powered speakers have excellent 2.1 sound with plenty of bass, and they only run about $120 or so. For a beach house vacation they should be perfectly acceptable. I use them in my den at home, and they sound great. At only about half volume they're very loud for the room. --
