[nfbcs] Speakers

[John G. Heim]

If you are looking for USB powered speakers (as opposed to USB 
speakers), I have three pairs of these speakers I like them so much:
Altec Lansing BXR1220 2.0 Speaker System
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0025VKUPW/ref=nosim/?

Each speaker is about the size of a beer bottle without the neck. 
Imagine a beer bottle cut off before it starts getting smaller toward 
the top. The sound is very good for speech. The sound is not bad for 
music but speech is very clear.  Of course they have a volume control 
knob and an on/off switch. I've never seen speakers that don't have those.

But just to be clear, these speakers use the sound card on your PC. They 
just get their power through the USB port. That's nice though because 
then you don't need a power brick for them.
