I think that's a good start to split the signal. Then, I just need to find powered speakers.

 

I'm a fan of the JBL 305P. Do they meet your definition of affordable, small, and transportable? They would need to sit on something. Perhaps a pair of chairs?

Looks like $220 for a pair, plus cables.

Great start. Do you know if they make them with digital input?

Well, that's an option, but you have to move up to the 705P, which removes "affordable" from the list of features for most people.  . Plus AES/EBU is going to be hard to come by on an HDMI breakout. 

 

I bought my son a pair of these (or a similar model), and he's been very happy. Not sure how durable they are, but they are similar in size and certainly look nice.
