Default Small speakers recommendation

I was tweaking the configuration of my BodhiLinux box when this
bit of business by * caught my eye:

I'd like some speakers for a small room/office, and they'll be tucked
into a bookshelf. The room is about 10'x8'x7'(H). I'm not looking to
spend very much - up to £100 second hand. Amplifier 20WPC SS. Any
recommendations?

Thanks, Rob


You might search for a used pair of Radio Shack Optimus Pro 7's or one of
it's close cousins in the Optimus line. I have a pair of 7's , and they
sound wonderful. Think I paid about $30 USD, or so a few years ago. They
are small and use a sealed box design. The bass is tight and punchy, and
the highs are reined in without being dull.

I just went on Ebay, and wouldn't you know it, there's a pair for sale right
now for $25.

Do your sealed boxes have a hole at the back like the ones on ebay?

How about a nice pair of Bose bookshelf speakers with a rear-facing tweeter?
