portable speakers

[Peter Austin]

Andrea,

A couple of years ago I bought a set of hinged compact amplified speakers from Radio Shack in Washington DC - they run on three AA batteries and are pretty rugged (I've dropped them more than once with no effect). I've used them at home and also with my laptop in lecture theatres to good effect.

The current model http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103838&cp=&sr=1&origkw=portable+speaker&kw=portable+speaker&parentPage=search costs $20.

Best,
Peter

Subject: portable speakers

Hi List,
I'm now in the market for a set of portable speakers to take into the  
field. Preferably something that is compact, light, of good quality,  
and plugs into the headphone jack of my laptop and/or Edirol r-09. It  
will be used during translation/transcription sessions with  
consultants, but I'd like to it be of high enough quality that it  
could also work in classroom presentations. I've budgeted around USD75  
but could go up to USD150 if it's worth it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Andrea
