I stream my music from my PC to my PDA and would like some powered speakers for use in the garden. Nothing too big or expensive, but reasonable sounding. Although i still will do for the occational party/BBQ, dragging one of my decent AMP's/Speakers outside it a bit of a pain.
Just someting that sounds good, but would be easy to take inside/outside on a regular(ish) basis. Rechargable would also be a bonus. Any idea's?
What do you call expensive? (£500 or £2,000?):)
I was thinking around the £100-150 mark really.

just get a ghetto blaster or similar, with a line-in. easy to whip it away from the rain if needed
Good plan
Sorry to bump this up again, but i'm still looking.
A ghettoblaster is a nice idea, but you really need to get the speakers further apart for a decent sound stage. I also dont want to be paying for extra's a dont need.
If you just want noise get something like Logitech or Creative speakers. Speakers designed as cheaper monitors wouldn't really be ideal as they have a flat response and so genreally don't give the impression of being as loud as home speakers.
When you say powered, do you mean mains or battery, if you're using it outside? I got a pair of Videologic Sirocco Spirit speakers about 6 years ago for £140 - they still work and I still think they sound great - not as good as separates, but actually not that far off. They are mains only, but pop up on eBay and AVForums for not very much every now and again...
For the money (around £75 - £100) these are really good, heard them in a large hifi shop and the sound is detailed with good controlled bass. The only way to get a good bottom end is to have either large cabinets or a subwoofer. Only drawback is they are mains powered only.
Get a couple of these for your garden:

£1,500 / 1200W RMS each! :rockon:
Go on, you know you want to...
Main's and battery if pos, but if i could only have one way of powering them then mains.
