Tom,

I have a couple of Minimus 3 speakers from Radio Shack that I use here. 
They're certainly adequate sonically, and they're quite small (about 4 
inches high, 2 inches wide, and 2 inches deep).  They may not be made any 
more, but I'm sure you can find some reasonable equivalents at the shack. 
You might consider a slightly larger speaker if good sound is your goal.

Steve
