Hello,
My search turned up this:
TDK I'maSpeaker part number PSCDMR12
J&R Music and Computer World $14.88
As I am in Albania, I am not going to call the local J&R Music and Computer
World, but I would appreaciate it if someone would and pass the information
on to us. By the way, this is in their online store, so I don't know if the
local stores carry it.
