Hi folks, I am at a time of life when I have a little free time for hobbies. In my younger days I had a reasonable hi-fi, Systemdek turntable, NAD 3130, AR18bx's, monster cable etc. The amp died after an accident while redecorating :( I looked for a replacement but couldn't find what I wanted, then I came across gainclone's on the net. Being an electrical engineer, I figure this would be a nice replacement for the power, I'm still looking for a pre-amp for my turntable that I can build at reasonable cost. However, the speakers died long ago, the AR problem of rotting foam surround and I would like to try and build a pair of small bookshelf speakers, I've looked through the sticky and have a few ideas but if anyone can post further links, that would be cool. As I use the PC for most stuff these days, the idea of replacing the little PC speakers with a small pair of 'proper' speakers really appeals to me. I know mp3's are a lossy format, I also use flac and ogg for my music, so super expensive drivers would be pointless. So has anyone build a small pair of speakers for this task? RevJim
