she's a huge, huge music fan, but currently uses garbage speakers on her pc for sound. for her birthday, i'd like to do something about that. i'm thinking of building her a pair of the two π bass reflex speakers (towers would be too large for her apartment), and then i would drive them with the $130 8-Watt integrated tube amp kit from www.tubesandmore.com.anyone have any thoughts on how the pair would perform? sound levels would be moderate, probably no more than 80db, so I'm assuming that 8 Watts would be enough power. additionally, any suggestions on diy interconnects/speaker cables? this would be my first foray into the world of diy speakers/electronics, and if i like the sound i might step up to some higher-end pi speakers.
thanks
