Good Computer Speakers without a sub for travel?

[Chronos]

I'm a student who needs to bring speakers to school by airplane so I can't bring anything with a subwoofer.  So what is a good compromise that I can get good speakers with good bass that can get decently loud (music for one bedroom apartment with few friends over) without sacrificing space + weight?  I don't really wanna spend too much on these but maybe $200 to $300 max.
 
These will mostly be used for music + movies.

It's hard to pack anything good into a suitcase that won't push you over luggage weight limits. Ipod speaker docks are a decent option for size/cost/etc. Can you not buy something when you're out there?

unfortunately no, its a small island country.  Yeah I'm not saying they need to be like tiny... but I wasn't exactly thinking ipod speaker docks for a desktop solution.

How about a speaker + amp combo? For the money Cambridge Soundworks Model Six speakers are tough to beat...

Add a T-Amp and you get some pretty high quality audio and still stay under your budget. I just don't know if the size will work for you.

Creative has those yellow driver speakers, forgot the name...Creative GigaWorks T20 and T40 I think, .those are decent for the price and can quite easily fill a room, and are compact.
 
I would put convinience and practicality over sound quality for your requirements, cos you dont want to be tugging around heavy speakrers with an amp during travel.
 
I wouldve said Boston Acoustics but the amp that comes with those speakers is quite heavy and I wouldnt recommend for travel. But otherwise, they are one of the best small profile desktop speakers I've heard without a sub.

they must receive mail to be sure. order them online and have them sent to you?
 
unless to travel light, even a pair of A2 is gonna add a considerable amount of weight to your luggage.

AudioEngine A2s are a bit too heavy for travelling and aren't really that great a speaker when you consider you can get an eSI near05 for close to the same money.

Go on a speaker fast, next time you go back and visit don't bring back anything but your speakers and you'll have 20kg of luggage to play around with.
