max, Is the lack of amp absolutely necessary? I face the same challenge...new SB3 means that SB2 moves to the bedroom, on top of the wardrobe. The way I'm looking to solve this is to pop the SB2 on top of an amp with a small form factor such as the Cyrus (anything from 3 onwards really). You should be able to pick one up on eBay for around £200-300 giving you a bit more flexibility on the choice of speakers.
Probably not what you're looking for if you want the portability though... max.spicer Wrote: > I'm really sorry to do this, but I've spent ages trawling through the > previous posts on this subject, and still haven't come up with a > solution.
