Dear All,
I will shortly be taking up a new job in Northern Cyprus. Initially, I will be travelling light. I want to take a mini setup with me. I have taken one of my Raspberry Pi3 / Allo Boss DAC combinations and added the Allo Volt Amp "grandaughter" card and matching acrylic case. All in all this makes a very compact 50W system which sounds rather good for the price/size and reuses existing kit.
Next up is speakers. I had an old 2nd hand Cambridge Audio Lusso 5.1 system to hand. Each speaker is about the size of a large orange. All things considered it sounded reasonable, but unsurprisingly it was totally lacking bass (I assume these speakers normally work with a subwoofer).
Next up, I swapped in some Gale Mini monitors which were borrowed from my son. These sounded much better and the bass returned.
Are there any suggestions for similar budget speakers which are as compact or smaller, sound reasonable and can be found second hand at a reasonable cost.
Many thanks in advance
Cheers
Sean
