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 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:

Stripy USB 2.0 Speakers
Creative I-Trigue 200 2.0 Channel Speaker System
Trust 2.0 Speaker Set For Mac
Altec Lansing MX 5020 2.0 Speakers / White

That said, the JBL Duet you mentioned Beric has certainly had some good reviews, even if they look a bit, umm... weird!

Thanks all.
