what are the best speakers to go with the MPC500? some that I can carry around and have good sound that does not cost a lot? could there be some at RadioShack?

Get headphones...very portable, very personal and require no power. If not, get a set of powered monitors. Maybe the m-audio 3" for 99.99.

Very small and portable...check 'em

Wow those do look pretty nice. I have a friend that uses some really old PC speakers with his 500 and they sound decent, I was shocked. You can get a pair at any thrift store. :D

I use Genelec 8020a on my MPC500 which sound aggressive and flat giving perfect listening for mixing. :wink:
