Good afternoon,

We have a baby arriving shortly and I am graciously giving up my office room for her and being moved into a corner of the kitchen. My desk is going to be very small, maybe only 80 x 50 cm, so I need some really compact speakers.

I know that when it comes to sound quality, compact rarely equals good, but I would like them to be decent.

Therefore, I was hoping for some recommendations. To give an idea of the order of size, something that was 10 x 10 x 10 cm would be great!

Budget is probably £150 as I have my current NAD amp and two sets of speakers to sell, most likely.

An alternative plan, which I thought of while typing, is to organise the speakers in the kitchen and somehow broadcast from my computer over to the speakers. Probably wouldn't be great for Teams calls though!

Thanks for your help,

I have some old, tiny HP Multimedia Speakers 2.0 USB which come out for emergency use. They are remarkable for their size and very cheap (and I just found some for sale, elsewhere). Not necessarily a long term solution, and not HiFi in any way, shape or form, but perhaps a useful, wallet-friendly interim measure. Then you can put the difference towards a pram. :D Congrats on the family upgrade though.

Thanks!!!!

So I have gone for a halfway solution. In the kitchen, I'm going to install proper speakers with an amplifier connected to an Amazon Echo, so while I'm in the kitchen I can get proper sound if I want it.

I bought the Creative Pebble V3 for the desk, so while I'm on a Teams call or whatever I can use those, and then when out, I can put music back on the Echo.

It's not ideal, but I have mapped out my desk space and I'm horrified by how tiny it is!
