I just received a $50 pair of the R15's that I ordered for the computer, but don't have any way to drive them for the time being. You guys have any suggestions for a cheap and somewhat small amp/receiver that I can use to run them? I don't want to spend more than $50 + shipping if possible. I don't need expensive goods hooked up to the comp, just the bare minimum.

Thanks,

Wodom1 :)

    That'd be the definition of the Sonic Impact "class T" (Tripath) amplifier :-)

    (available elsewhere, even Target, and cheaper, too)

    Felt by many to be a giant-killer. YMMV.

    That looks interesting. I'll have to do a little research on it to see if it suits my needs. If anyone here has anything hidden away in their magic audio closets, that would be even better!
