Small speakers - is there any point thinking much about which, or will they all be pretty awful?

To make things worse it's to go in a conservatory type room with awful acoustics, so this is firmly "second system" territory - it's for while on the turbo.

I wonder if cheap Bluetooth headphones might serve me better

They can be good within the limitations of physics, just don't expect much music in the bass register. You're not going to be that picky if you're on the turbo, so anything half decent is going to be good enough.

That was kind of what I thought - I thought something like JBL control 1 probably suitable (if a bit on the large side compared to the ideal for the room).

Just wonder how good / bad they'd be and whether I'd regret not having something better if I use the system when I'm not on the turbo...
