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

Sorry, but my daughter took them off to college. I checked the ebay history but the model number wasn't mentioned in the ad. There are several similar units being auctioned now.

I hate to say this... but I ended up purchasing the Bose SoundDock for my iPod. It sounded the best when compared with others mentioned, and was the most simplistic - drop the iPod in and that's it. None of the "all in one" units for the iPod come close to a real rig, IMO. Good luck.

OK, no worries. I have just discovered you can buy their units on Amazon, where I found they did a 300 watt system that cost under £100, including delivery! I think that shall most probably be what I get - especially as the SoundSticks I was thinking of cost more and produced only 40 watts!

As for plugging a few wires in to get the kit up and running, that doesn't really bother me in the slightest. :-)

Forgot to mention that the system I have found and am seriously tempted by is the Cambridge Soundworks MegaWorks 250D. Would I be making a good decision here?
