Straighten me out on gainclones

Initially I thought that the gainclone was a device that
powered a speaker locally. So what could be done is have
the low output from say a soundcard jacked up to power a set
of decent nearfield speakers for computer use.


Since then I have seen some real good artcles on gainclones
nad construction. But these seem to be stand alone audio
applications.


So if the single chip amps are cheap enough, is making
powered speakers... such as those made for studio use ...
a viable hobby application? Or can those little speaks
for computers be canabalized to accomplish something similar?


Right now I have a Yamaha RP U100 which is designed for
USB and computer use. But the gaincard application and it's
abilities to produce great sound still interest me.


So how do I get straight on this?
