Ok. I can get 8 ohm, 0.5 Watt, 20mm diameter, full range speakers, from China, on eBay.

1) Does anyone here know of a source for even smaller ones? Say 12-14mm (1/2") diameter?

2) I'm interested in building a tiny "sound room" that could slip into a camera hot shoe and would have a 3.5mm microphone input connected to a tiny speaker. I'm thinking someone with 3D printer design knowledge could fashion the box to fit in the hot shoe slot.

Thoughts?

What do you mean by "sound room"?

Are you trying to make a camera-mounted amplified audio playback system? If so, why do you want a mic input (or did you just mean that type of connector, not with mic amplification)? How do you want this to work?

There are tons of powered/unpowered phone amplifier units -- you could just mount one on a shoe (doesn't need to be hot)....
