very small speakers

I am looking for a very small and affordable setup for my bedroom. I was thinking of running a pair of very small speakers and a subwoofer. Amp still tbd.

If anyone has seen the super small bose satelite speakers and subwoofer systems- well something like that, only a bit more hi-fi.

I've never seen such small system here on Audiogon or elsewhere, and don't know if such hi-fi systems exist.

I like quality but very budget gear. Currently in my living room, I have a pair of Klipsch floorstanders and a Jolida 102B with a Bottlehead phono preamp. So definately budget, but decent. Maybe I can pick up some used gear on this site if someone could make a few random suggestions.

Gallo, baby. Any of their little round satellites will do it. I heard a pair of Nucleus Micros with a sub (with the appearance of their MPS sub), and its transparency and imaging were stunning. The sats are very tiny, available in a wide variety of decorator colors, and easy to place.

Those or the A'Divas if you need to fill a larger space will definitely do the job. These little orbs set the audio industry on its ear and re-defined Gallo as a company. For a couple of years the demand for the Micros and subs were so great that Gallo had to put development and mfr of their high end systems on hold to catch up.

I bought a pair of PSB mini-monitors used, very inexpensively. I was blown away by them. (I usually listen to Ayre/Green Mountain). Don't know if they are small enough (6 x 10?)but they were a pleasant surprise for the money.

The PSBs would be a great low-cost alternative. PSB makes a smaller 2-way yet--the Alpha LR1 Monitor at 4-1/4"w x 7-1/8"h x 6-3/8"d.

Concerning the Gallos, to give you an idea of their sizes, the Nucleus Micro satellites are 4" diameter truncated spheres--the size of a softball or grapefruit.

The A'Divas, which can hand off to the sub at a lower frequency and can play louder, are the same shape at 5" in diameter--the size of a larger grapefruit.

All three want to hand off to the subwoofer at about 90-100 Hz.
