This was solved by the 3 year old kid.
He very sharply asked why 2 loudspeakers?
It was decided to use just one full range small speaker connected to the headphone out as if the speaker was a headphone. No amp used helping portability.
This may allow monitoring for many people while recording on iPad solving the problem of silence when a mic prepreamp is connected through the headphone 1/8in jack.
The speaker used was a not light but small military waterproof type. The volume was fine and the sound quality had something very nice in it. It reminded the sound of the iPad speaker itself but with better midrange an a bit more body. The midrange in fact had a sweetness in it.
It may be a nice simulation of end product on how it will sound on the speaker of a portable device.
If for example many singers are around the speaker it should be great fun. The not loud sound should help them a lot singing in tune as we know pitch perception depends on sound intensity. In general the lower the intensity the truer the pitch. The higher the acoustic intensity the flatter the pitch our brain perceives.
The Bee Gees recording their vocals together around a mic and monitoring through a small speaker should know. Reference for this is given on a previous euroelecron post.
If the milliWatt driven sleeker cannot be heard loud enough this may indicate that the recording environment is too noisy.
