WARNING: Most speakers contain a powerful magnet (ceramic I think) which
will distort your monitor permanently if placed to close to it.  I
learned this a very long time ago by placing a speaker on a color TV.
Also, the magnet might erase your floppies.  If you plan on using
speakers, try and get the ones which are shielded and usually sold for
TV monitors.  I think that BOSE sells a model of the Roommate(?) line
which is shielded.

I use a "box" (also known as a boom-box, third world briefcase, portable
integrated stereo, etc.) which has RCA input jacks.  It works very well.
