Best sound quality computer speakers I can fit in a suitcase?

[shadyJ]

You might look at some of the JBL Pro Control series speakers. They are monitors made for systems on the go like broadcast vans, so they are made for some rugged use, although not on the level of actual touring equipment. Since they are JBL Pro, they should have a relatively flat response. Check out the C2PS or the Pro 1.

Yup, I've seen that. I have those CR3 in my garage, they are fine for a garage.

I have not seen that new Vonatoo Zero, however. That looks interesting, and those are very diminutive. I was fairly impressed with the Transparent One.

ha, my cellphone speaker with stupidly simple paper cup is fine for garage

some of these suggestions are just too big...JBL Pro 1 weigh 12 pounds? thats almost half the allowed weight.....anything jump out as a good system that are 6" or less would be realistic. I have lots of other things to take as well ...
keep thinking friends and a million thanks!!

Your restrictions are restricting you right out of what you are trying to achieve!

Yet, I will try another option for you.

A small amp

And small cube speakers. These do sound surprisingly OK for their small size.

Some step-up options on the speakers

Or, maybe this is the number

You must understand that you won't get great bass from small speakers, that is dictated by the Laws of Physics.

I think you have three choices, either get yet another crappy and tiny bt speaker, headphones or like suggested above get a DIY speaker kit: diagrams, speakers and crossover and build a box using local wood.
Some good kits here:
http://www.diysoundgroup.com/speaker-kits.html
You could order drivers and crossover elements with front panel (baffle) or full kit and dispose of sides and back to cut the volume and weight.

You'd also need to purchase a small D-class amp to power these, like this one:

But I got the feeling the weight is going to the killer for you So it back to either crappy BT speakers (not due to BT wireless protocol, but due to physics - small speakers don't sound very good or headphones.

You definitely should get some B&W 801D speakers.

You WILL need a larger suitcase though.

That might need a trunk.

No, no... He definitely said it needed to fit in a suitcase...

 

[afterlife2]

OK So I got one of these and the sq is actually great with terrific bass with Bluetooth. If you don't mind buying used and Will fit in your carry on: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005KQ2O26/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496175771&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=logitech+wireless+boombox&dpPl=1&dpID=41n0Q2ltkqL&ref=plSrch

Ok, Obviously above it's not really a suitcase, but this one is:

 

[nomadic mujer]

Thanks freinds. I understand I am asking a lot. I appreciate all the responses and ideas. I love the big suitcases!

I will look into this more and see what i can do. Many thanks.

There is seemingly no selection criteria for the products in that article. I wouldn't pay too much attention to it. The Adam speakers probably aren't bad.

Seems like most if not all of those are similar to what has been mentioned, so they would be ruled out by the same reasons.

There are several good speakers on that list, but there are some questionable speakers too.

You now have a long list. I suggest that you choose 1 or 2, then come back here for opinions.

I have these and they can go loud with decent bass. The sound quality is outstanding for the size. Just get a Cool amp and you're good:

If you get a bigger suitcase:

Mackie CR3 produce really clear sound for its size and price. You can check it out if you are interested. I am sure you will find this studio monitor great with its really great specs.

CR3 is good, especially for the size and $.

I've had a pair as my garage speakers for several years now. Personally, I like the green trim, but it's not for everyone.

Hi, @MyMelody. Something tells me that the OP is unlikely to check this thread, given that he was gone over two years ago

I use these and find them very satisfying.

They are small enough to fit into any suitcase or backpack but you must refine your expectations. They won't go low and won't go loud but for filling a normal sized room with fairly pleasing sound at reasonable levels,, I love 'em. Being USB powered is an added benefit.
