Hi James, Of course, if you want portability, then mains only is the problem. The Travelsound are battery or mains, and they even run from an in-car cigarette lighter socket.

They seem very good to my ears, but I don't know how they compare to the other ones recommended here.

Are they available from high street stores, or do you know a website I can have a look at. Many thanks.

They are really good for the BC, and use battery or mains. Bit more expensive, but boy, do they sound good. I use them at exhibitions, and don't forget, the BC is a creditable MP3 player too, so you don't want tin pot speakers like the TDK offerings. Just my opinion.

They come in stereo and mono flavours. Morgan Computers were selling off the stereo ones for around £15.00 and dare say many are selling them off now as they never really took off. They are battery powered by the way, and are meant to booste the output of Walkman's and the like, and would suit the Book Currier fine.

Can it take powered speakers. The last thing I want to do it blow it up! Does anyone recommend any good speakers, and if so, where were they from. I'm going on holiday, and thought it would be good to use with a loud speaker for the family, etc. Many thanks. Sharon -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
