| I also have a D-3 and enjoy it very much.
I have listened to the BOSE roomates and find them
to be the best thing commercially available. But,
if I remember correctly, they are $75 a piece. So
I bought the Aiwa A-8 set. It's two speakers with
a built-in amp in each speaker. You might want to
get speakers with amps if you don't have a small
amplifier in your office. I find that the output
from the D-3 using headphones is quite adequate.
But when it drives the speakers, I regularly have
the volume set on 8 (out of 10). I paid $75 for
the both speakers. They run on two D batteries,
and have a DC input line. They work without the
amp, too.

| re .0, yes that conference for speakers and other HiFi equipment
(as well as CD) is DSSDEV::AUDIO. From my perspective your questions
about those speakers would be better served in the AUDIO notes file.
But I guess (is this true, moderator?) that it could be here too.

I own a pair of Roommates which I regularly use to amplify an FM/tape
Walkman, and I've been very pleased with them. I also plan on using
them as rear speakers for a Dolby Surround setup, but that's still
in the future.
I believe the primary differences between the Roommates and the Video
Roommates are:
Video Roommates have a built-in volume control;
Video Roommates are shielded for use next to a television;
Video Roommates are terminated with a pair of RCA-type jacks,
and are designed to accept line-level, as opposed to headphone
level, signals;
Video Roommates list for $50 more in the States.
As an aside, I've fed line-level signals to my regular Roommates and
they sounded fine.
List Price
Roommates $229
Video Rmmtes $279
I got my Roommates for about 20% off list....
