Hi,
I know that one gets what they pay for. Being a retired oldie I am on a strict budget. Does anybody have any ideas what a low 3 to 5 Watt brand and model of speaker driven by batteries would be good for a bedroom studio and trailer? The trailer would be in places with limited or no power so digital, battery amp low end is an interesting consideration for me. Mind you, I would then have to match a bullet mic or digital mic.
Any ideas would be appreciated,
Inky

I have battery powered Honeytones, about $20 but pretty crummy. For $200 there"s the Pignose Hog 20, about 20 watts, long lasting rechargeable lead acid batteries, mine sounds pretty good with amped harp.

Hey @craiginker good to see you man! Yeah they keep making more and more battery powered amps and @KeefDeBluesHarpRobot gives you a good idea of the spectrum.
For mics the Hohner Harp Blaster ain’t bad - not sure if you saw my shootout of it vs a vintage astatic mic.
Just saw this mic on Reverb for $60 killer deal:
I’ve got one of those and it ain’t a bad mic at all for the money! Hope that helps.
Keep us posted!
Rock on,
Luke

I agree with @Luke concerning the “Bottle 'o Blues” microphone. I have one too and doubt that you can find anything as good for less $$. Jon Gindick @Jon_Gindick first made me aware of this little microphone.

I have a pignose 7-100 portable battery powered amp. It’s awesome for guitar and harps. Natural sounding and very well made.

Thanks for reminding me about the Pignose! I have one that my protege gave me. I gotta put some batteries in it and see if it works!

Bruce. What kind of mic do you use with this?
You inspired me to review some amps. Check it out here:
