Small speakers for tv viewing

[EdT]

Had an amp kicking around so decided to fill the space under the tv up with it and a pair of mordaunt short speakers. They're too big.. Both in look and sound.
Notice Richard sounds have warfedale diamond 9s at £50. Might be better suited.
Any recommendations for even smaller units that pack a punch?

Might be worth looking at what PC speakers you can find in PC World or similar. I have a pair of desktop speakers with a small sub connected to my TV, they work through the headphones jack. In the past I had a larger set of speakers with amp and sub attached, those were also from a PC and again worked through the headphones jack.

PC speakers come in all sorts of designs and sizes compared to what the dedicated TV offerings have, so check out what you can find with that lot as an alternative.

I have a set of 5.1 Aegos for my computer room and they are superb, plenty of punch packed, they do a stereo set too.

Cambridge Audio Minx mini11s or whatever they are called get good reviews.

I have used Creative GigaWorks T20 Series for a couple of years now, absolutely brilliant Better than the Bose AM5s I used to have...

I've had a set of Bose Companion 3 speakers for over 10 yrs that were originally bought for a desktop PC, but spent more time attached to a second TV.

They've been used in the living room both times we have moved, before setting up a full 5.1 system, and for the size of them they even sound good in a big room. The only issue issue with a desktop system though is no remote..

Funnily enough that's what I had prior to sticking the amp up. Little blue light was annoying though. For the £ they were very good.

Might not be relevent to you, but I used to watch TV through a Cambridge Audio amp and Wharfedale Diamond 9.1s and was very, very happy with the sound. Of course, they were even better for music too.

They might be a bit big for your needs though.

I've just clicked buy on a pair of Kurzweil KS40a.
If these work out, Amp & speakers will get moved on (or stuck up in loft for another few years)
Will report back

Set them up today, only had a few mins to listen to them, but impressed. They're not big, but sound good.. decent punch & bass.
Therer's a pair of phono inputs, one of which has a treble boost for some reason - didnt realise this before buying. It's not massive but if it gets in the way, there's a simple enough DIY fix by removing a couple of components from the board.
So, bye bye big amp & speakers

Used them plenty now. Happy with them. Only downside is vol knob is on the rear of the main speaker. Other than that, ace.
