I cannot find anything that convinces me. Klein & Hummel MM 201 or M 52, Genelec 6010, Avantone Pro, Audioengine etc. are great but are "too big" for what I want. I am looking for something really small, portable, like the Ucube (80mmx80mm), but when I listened to them in the shop, I was disappointed. I only need a decent reference, so I don't have to edit with the sound coming from the MBP13 or the headphones. Appreciate suggestions.
Another nice small speakers
Interesting $69 full range speakers
IK Multimedia iLoud Micro Monitor
I use very nice Eacan speakers. Both 2.0 and 2.1 (with sub) make very good sound
Equator audio

OK, tomorrow
Cool. Can you make few photos so their size will be more obvious?
They arrived today. Sound good for the price. A bit lack of lows - logic because they are very small.
I ordered them today and will let you know how they sound.
They are so small and so cool.

BTW, I use mini-speakers like this to watch TV because they can be placed closer to the person watching the screen. In today's open living spaces there's a real need to think of lowering the sound levels for other people nearby who may not be watching the TV.
Less hassle than headphones, my mini-speakers sit either side of my sofa with the woofer beneath. On my coffee table there's a hard switch with volume control.
Best really small computer speakers of that I personally know - SoundScience QSB
Btw, very good deal in UK for them - http://www.advancedmp3players.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?products_id=12765
Want to add also Creative GigaWorks T20. Good quality speakers, really like em.
Blue Sky's Exo 2 are listenable - in the end - edit don't mix - get a mixer to do that :) Pre produce at home and finish somewhere calibrated (if you're selling it) If not fook it - there's a million sound graduates near you who are probably champing at the bit to do anything - use em !
Just bought the Bose Computermonitor speakers. I am very happy with them. Sound is great and travel size too.
Very good.
Vitaliy, what are your chances on having a deal for SV audio speakers, anytime soon?
Bose "sounds" good. They typically use psychoacoustics to enhance/leverage the fletcher-munson curve (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fletcher%E2%80%93Munson_curves) but they make everything sound better than it really is. This isn't good for studio monitors because it can falsely make you believe that there are no issues with your source.
I've heard the Yamaha MSP3: http://usa.yamaha.com/products/music-production/speakers/msp3/?mode=series
And I'd say that they are great for the money, possibly better than most other monitors of the same size.
Wanted to remind, that the topic was about looking for a really small reference speaker, for a small mobile travel unit. The best sounding and smallest so far for me is still the Bose musicmonitor: http://www.amazon.com/Bose%C2%AE-Computer-MusicMonitor%C2%AE----Silver/dp/B000WS5VNQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1364732719&sr=8-1&keywords=bose+musicmonitor
I would if I could. Even though I'm under NDA for a lot of things I do, I'll just say that these have been inquiries for OEM products for the company I work for and also from dealing with a chinese company that attempted to sell our designs as their own versions even as they made ours for us, and another that attempted to sell us another company's products as OEM. A big legal mess that cost us a bunch of money, but that's a discussion for another thread!
but I've found in my own dealings with chinese companies that the "direct" product isn't nearly as good quality as the "same" product from the name brand. This is because the manufacturers specify all of the parts and quality that goes into their products usually, so when their quota is done for the day, the chinese simply use the same molds, machinery and plans to build more "generic" versions of the product
:-) Here we go again. Can you show me specific examples from your practice? Who made control from your side? What was quited price compared to "original" product?
