Compact speakers for under $60/£40?

[Stormz]

Looking to buy some speakers and have a budget of $60/£40.

These will not be for an audiophile (as you can no doubt guess, judging by the budget!) - they just need something cheap and cheerful that will be an improvement on their current somewhat tinny Mac Mini inbuilt speaker.

Also need to be as compact as possible.

I know most of you will have impeccable audio taste and bigger budgets, but if you can recommend anything half (or even a quarter ;) )-decent for this price, I'd appreciate it. :)

Pretty much anything by Altec Lansing , these are good.

In your budget and well worth the money.

These sound better and are not much more expensive. If you cant get these, anything in the Logitech i-trigue range is pretty good.

I've got Bose companion 5's hooked up to my 24" iMac and they are worth every penny.

Try these JBL Duet (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000C3GWU/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top/102-1924534-6095307) speakers. Have two pair, using them with both an iMac and a Macbook, as well as with an iPod when necessary. Plugs right into the headphone port of anything. And great sound quality for that price point. Read the reviews for yourself - people are saying these are unmatched for the price.

Some good suggestions thanks.

These (all under £33) have intrigued me:

Creative I-Trigue 200 2.0 Channel Speaker System (http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/3478253/Creative-I-Trigue-200-2-0-Channel-Speaker-System/Product.html)

That said, the JBL Duet (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000C3GWU/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top/102-1924534-6095307) you mentioned Beric has certainly had some good reviews, even if they look a bit, umm... weird!

Thanks all. :)
