I'm feeling lazy and not ready to tackle some of the larger speaker projects I have in mind, so after I complete a couple of non-audio things I think my next speaker project will be something small -- a pair of computer speakers. In all honesty, I don't care all that much about computer sound, but these stupid little plastic things sitting on my desk are an insult to my diy-ness. For a design, I've been looking at the "Hi-Vi B3S single driver system" here: http://www.zaphaudio.com/audio-speaker18.html , but I'm looking for other suggestions. Anybody got any? The main design parameters are small, simple and cheap.

John's HiVi project is highly recommended. Me, I went with the Tangband W3-871 a month ago, partly because I didn't know about the B3S at the time. The ELF's are very simple 0.1 ft^3 ported. Sounds good "naked" and even better with a notch filter of R=6, C=6, I=0.5 I think both the HiVi and TB projects work out to be the same cost. The HiVi drivers are cheaper, but requires more filter components. Gar.

I'm probably going to go with zaphaudio project, just because I feel like doing something from scratch. Ironically, I had bookmarked the Tang Band project years ago and went there to take another look at it -- and found it replaced with the Hi-Vi project.

There are some posts on the Tangband design by Zaph down in Single Driver forum. See especially posts on The Brick... not the smallest, but should make music from an audio stream. For small projects, the "Onken" has always appealed to me for it's elegance:
