Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2005 01:35:36 -0400 I've been looking for a nice little set of self-powered amplified speakers to put in the little camera bag that I carry my JBR and accessories in. A couple of nights ago I noticed these speakers at my local Wallyworld: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?dest=9999999997&product_id=4062501&sourceid=0100000030660804302498 Ilo brand. Given the price, I decided to give them a try. I was very pleasantly surprised. Though the speakers are only marginally larger than the JBR itself, they sound quite nice. An amazing amount of sound comes from the little drivers about the size of a half dollar. Not super-hifi but good enough for something that will fit in pants pockets. The speakers run on 4 AA batteries and work just fine on NiMH so I can use the same batteries with my JBR and my speakers. Even better, the speakers come with a 9 volt 900ma wall wart with the same size plug as on the JBR. Therefore I only need to carry one wart. About the only thing it doesn't do that I'd like is charge the NiMH batteries. I'll remedy that easily enough. Interestingly enough, they look to be almost identical to the Creative ones being sold on an adjacent shelf for over twice as much. The case is a little different but the transducers look identical John --- John De Armond See my website for my current email address http://www.johngsbbq.com Cleveland, Occupied TNReceived on 2005-10-17 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
