Even though I have no space and no budget I just cannot help wondering... Is it possible to find used, small (computer desk size) speakers for around 50 quid to complement AP20?

Re: AP20 + Hifiman HE-6

(un)lucky for me I have nor money nor room for speakers... that's why I am limited to headphones.
There is always Lotto/Euro-Million/National Lottery though so maybe one day...
anyway if only Doc let me I will be more than happy to check Cubes out ;)
