For my birthday, my darling girlfriend just gave me some shitty, shitty eight quid laptop speakers from Curry’s, to serve as cruel and vicious Truth Boxes for mixing in LMMS! They’re powered from USB, they do 0.5W RMS total (5V at 500mA), they’re about 2.5″ in diameter each, the bass barely exists and they are just what I wanted, because if I want a mix that survives anything it has to work on these. Listening to stuff through them is revelatory. For added cruelty, mix in mono. I am most pleased.
