For anybody looking for a really compact pair of speakers...
I heard the tiny AE Compact 1s today and have to say they are brilliant. Wide open sounding, loads of detail and clarity. Of course they won't shake the earth but they have qualities that bassier budget speakers tend to overlook and they are so, so rhythmic and agile. Vocals are very impressive on them - beautifully focused and uninhibited.
I was blown away by the much more expensive but equally compact Neat Iota speakers at the Manchester Show, but I have to say that given their price the little AEs are very impressive indeed. AE have done a great job here and they've made a very small speaker that is honest, musical and involving.
