Default Small speakers recommendation

"Rockinghorse Winner" wrote in
message ...
I was tweaking the configuration of my BodhiLinux box when this
bit of business by *Rob * 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.

Good luck, and let us know what you get!

Might be difficult since Radio Shack - a.k.a. Tandy - haven't
existed in the UK for well over a decade.
