Any suggestions for a set of easily movable speakers?

[andyr15]

As part of my job I move around alot and so I am after a speaker system (AC,USB or Battery powered) that can be easily picked up and moved without messing around with lots of wires. I would like a fairly decent bass response without the need for a sub . I am thinking about something like the Altec Lansing iM4, but I am unsure about its ability to handle bass.

Can anyone give a view on the iM4 or any alternatives that are better than my Dell XPS2 laptop speakers? A decent 2.0 set would do, the smaller the better.

Klipsch Ultra 2.0 FTW

The Ultra 2.0 is the best 2.0 speakers in its price range from what I've heard, but is it still within the range of 'portable'?

I was after something a bit smaller if possible?

Uh..if you get much smaller you really start to sacrifice sound...big time.

Thanks for the help. However, I've already got some sennheiser PX200s, but i am after something that will allow me to sit away from the laptop.

Unfortunately the Klipsch are too big and I cannot find a seller in the UK. Any more ideas would be apprieciated.

Yes you will sacrafice sound for portability but a good set are the JBL On Tours that fold up nicely and I have heard good thing about Creatives Travel Sound...

I know, yoyohowsdajello is going to hate me for this, but I have to show the man his options.

A friend in the dorm has the previous generation of these and they sound very good for their size. I'll let yoyohowsdajello fill you in on why you shouldn't buy them.

I don't really have an opinion of their "multimedia" systems.
