Hi Tom;
I bought a set of speakers with Creative's Labs name on it.
It is stereo and it is well worth the money.
You can run it on four triple A's or an AC. adapter.
Believe it or not I picked them up for $12 bucks.
The speakers are one piece with a mini-mini patch cord which is about six
inches long.
