Arcam Solo Mini- desktop speakers needed

[knacker]

I have just received a Solo Mini from T'Missus as early birthday present and I'm needing a pair of speakers for a small room approx 7" by 13"- long and narrow. To make matters worse I really need the speakers to sit on my computer desk but still want good hifi speakers. Any ideas please?

How about the Roth Audio Oli1's reviewed in the April issue of WHF? Very small, not particularly bothered about positioning and only £99...

I run mine with a pair of MS902i's, like the sound and the silver fronted speakers match the unit very well.

AVI Neutron IV secondhand or ProAc Tablette Reference 8 (Signatures) secondhand. These are both far far better than new £100 - £200 speakers and small too.

Depends how much you want to spend and how small you need them to be. If you need very small and under £200, go down to your local Sevenoaks store and audition some Monitor Audio R90 speakers - they are essentially part of the Radius speaker package but will do a lovely job with your Arcam Solo. They are miniature traditional bookshelfs, very well built and surprisingly powerful. I got mine for £180 ex demo (normally £250).
