The comparison most often made between Boom and SB+active speakers is the 'Audioengine A2' (http://www.audioengineusa.com/a2_home.php). Search the forums for what various listeners have to say. Most say the A2s are comparable to the Boom in sound quality, but they're a lot more than GBP 30.
For really inexpensive active speakers I've been happy with Klipsch ProMedia 2.0, which I got new-in-box on eBay for around USD 30 per pair. They're not great audio quality, but better than the average "pc speakers". -- aubuti Nothing high-end, but music anywhere I want it.
