[LAU] Small, cheap computer speakers?

[Ken Restivo]

I'm looking for a source for small, cheap, but relatively nice-sounding computer speakers, preferably ones that are powered off of a 12v wall-wart, for use in a mobile "studio".

Many years ago, a friend had Cambridge Soundwerks speakers in his very small apartment, and I was shocked at how good they sounded. Two little cubes and a big square subwoofer. At the time, he said they were expensive, and that didn't surprise me.

What's out there now? I don't mind shelling out for the Good Stuff-- not quite studio monitors but close--, as long as they can run off of 12v and they are small.
