Which speakers for use with iPod?

I don't have an enormous budget, but would like to purchase a small set of speakers that I can use with my iPod. I have been looking at a couple of models, but cannot easily get a demo of any of them so I would like to know your opinions!

I have been looking at the JBL Creature II, Harman/Kardon SoundSticks II, and also the Edirol MA-10A. I listen to a wide range of music, so a more neutral sound would probably be better, but if the bass can be turned down on the first two then that would be OK. Also, if anybody has any alternatives in this sort of price range I would be pleased to know!

Cheers

I've been very disappointed at the sound quality of the small systems designed to play iPods. I think that a cheap integrated amp with a pair of inexpensive 2 way speakers would blow away any of the iPod directed systems that I've heard, and I've heard quite a few.

This stands in stark contract to the high quality of some of the modest priced earphones (e.g. Shure 3c, or is it c3?), which can be xtremely good.

I am puzzled. Seems like there is a great business opportunity available that remains to be seized.
