I also have a bunch of amps from sure electronics (stereo, 15W/channels, $12 each); they can be driven directly from a good computer power-supply. I have two "Alpair 7" 4 inches drivers; they are excellent but a bit expensive to buy much more, so I'm evaluating a pair of Fountek FR88EX 3 inches drivers. The only problem with small full-range drivers is their poor bass performance... For a good computer based solution, I would suggest checking the new "Zacate" all-in-one motherboards with 8 audio ouputs. > umashankar > > i have published my poems. read (or buy) at > http://stores.lulu.com/umashankar > > > > > Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2011 21:08:43 -0400 > > From: m...@hacklava.net > > To: sursound@music.vt.edu > > Subject: Re: [Sursound] Minim AD7 for sale > > > > Sun, 01 May 2011 01:44:38 +0100, > > Stefan Schreiber <st...@mail.telepac.pt> wrote : > > > > > Gerard Lardner wrote: > > > > > > >Perhaps something on the lines of a PlugComputer running Plug > > > >Ubuntu, a USB sound card, Linux software packaged for simple use > > > >and having a web control interface, and an iPhone app to control > > > >it all?
