amplified speaker q

[Kevinbb]

I've seen various posts on this but no real clear answer. Anyone have a good idea for a decent amplified external speaker for the PSR 500 Handheld? I don't want some crappy looking $5 Motorola relic and I really I don't want to dump $50 on a radio shock amp speaker and have to look for another power source for it. I saw some of the little fold up one's used for xm radio's and mp3 players that use batteries and was wondering if anyone had any luck with those.

thanks in advance

Then you don't want to take the advice of people who really know from years of experience. Go and buy some toy type thing for an MP3 player if you want. It may look good, but it won't give good results.

How about a set of $20 pc speakers from Wal Mart, you might need a mono to stereo plug adapter though, I have a set of Altec-Lansing amplified computer speakers they work quite well. Here is a link. The ones I have a generation back but look the same.

The relics from Motorola and/or GE will actually give excellent audio.
If you can find a Motorola. it will blow you out of the room with volume.

Best of luck....

Any one of the three motorola amplified speakers in the below thread would work well. I have used the 1006 and it has awesome audio and like Tom said will blow you away if you turn up the volume too loud.
