Best small 2.0 speakers for use with Lepai LP-2020A Amplifier
Agreed 100%. My ears found the AudioEngine A2 over-hyped, for instance. -

Thanks for the inputs guys. The NHT also seems to have rave reviews. Time to do some research :) -
Best small 2.0 speakers for use with Lepai LP-2020A Amplifier
Thanks for the inputs! This looks like a long term project requiring quite some study. I'm looking into this, but meanwhile would still like some inputs on my original post - if there exist small-ish matching speakers for the lepai amp in budget -
Best small 2.0 speakers for use with Lepai LP-2020A Amplifier
Well I guessed so :) .. But what you say is extremely intriguing. At the risk of sounding noob-ish. Are you suggesting I should go back, buy separate drivers and build my own speakers? I've never done anything even close to that, but wow! I would be most willing to - can you give me... -

Best small 2.0 speakers for use with Lepai LP-2020A Amplifier
Hi guys, I am buying the lepai tripath 2020 amp from amazon for about 20 bucks. I want to build a decent sounding system on a budget, and am interested to know your thoughts on my requirement - I want to carry the amp and speakers back to India (I'm in the US for a short trip, and any...- quadmaniac

Need 2.0 speakers - bit of an odd requirement
Eric, yes I had to turn the mp3 player to the max, even then the A2's demanded a lot more power. Update: I finally purchased the JBL Jembe 2.0. After bringing these babies home, and having played them for about an hour, I feel that this is a positively great purchase for around $60...- quadmaniac

No, the store did not stock the Altec Lansings, nor the Creatives (I was disappointed since I specifically wanted to try the Creative T40)- quadmaniac

Need 2.0 speakers - bit of an odd requirement
Just wanted to update - had a fun time auditioning a few speakers. Updating with my observations if this helps someone down the road. 1. Bose Companion 2 (auditioned at - Bose store, Rockefeller Centre, NYC, J&R Music World, NYC) When I heard these first, they were paired to a...- quadmaniac

Bose Companion 2 - auditioned, and confused! Need your help!
That is of great help PeterP. And it makes complete sense. Just curious though, does this mean that only the aux input is padded, or both inputs? I seem to remember during the audition that the main input itself was directed to my Sansa clip zip, but I can't be sure. I can audition again...- quadmaniac

Bose Companion 2 - auditioned, and confused! Need your help!
At first, when I connected the Clip to the speakers, the volume on the clip was at about 50%. Upon hearing almost nothing, I cranked up the Clip volume to 100%. Finally, to test the limit, I maxed the speaker volume. Even at this point, the speakers weren't exactly making anyone uncomfortable...- quadmaniac

Hello head-fi'ers, I was researching for 2.0 speakers for use with my mp3 player (primarily) and my laptop (more details at http://www.head-fi.org/t/617693/need-2-0-speakers-bit-of-an-odd-requirement) and finally got time to visit the Bose store to try out the Companion 2 (the other option...- quadmaniac

Need 2.0 speakers - bit of an odd requirement
Thanks guys. Trog's suggestion about a full fledged amp and speakers is interesting, the only issue being the ability to carry it back from the US. I won't have that much space in my luggage, despite business class- quadmaniac

Thanks for the replies guys.

Need 2.0 speakers - bit of an odd requirement
Thanks Eric. Being a budgetophile, the best I've heard are the Koss's and the Senn PMX 60's - so no really high end stuff. Yes, I do have sufficient depth, and the bass ports firing upwards is a bit of a boon since my TV is at eye level, and the speakers placed a level below - so the bass...- quadmaniac

Need 2.0 speakers - bit of an odd requirement
Thanks for your reply obobskivitch, I added the Creatives in the list since the T40 seems well regarded, and the Bose ones are bashed a bit. I can demo the Bose at their Manhattan store, but not the Creatives. Ah, and I forgot to mention, I stay in a different country where such speakers...- quadmaniac
