+1 for the A2's. Fantastic speakers, for the price, and surprisingly bassy and loud for such a tiny pair. First time I heard them was at a friends and though he had much bigger bookshelves hidden to be producing the sound that these make.
Unfortunately mine are unused atm. Two weeks after I got them, my dad gave me his old 1989 Bose 301 mkII's. Say what you want about bose, but these things sound absolutely fantastic.
