Slightly off topic, however . . .
breic I am not sure what part of Canada you live in, but if you live anywhere in Southern Ontario you should not have paid more than $2-3 dollars for any small 1.5 watt speaker between 1.5-3 inches in diameter.
There are lots of good vendors to choose from . . . just stay away from "The Source" which was formeraly known as Radio Shack.
