Anyone interested in these little beasts there is a good site providing extensive measurements and modification for the Tripath chip and the Sonic-T.

He sells a modded version but he also provides for free a BOM; a Q&A and all of the schematics for the mods. Including photo-imaged build help and e-mail help. Very nice stuff. I can see a great system with the Pi II speakers and a panasonic portable CD/MP3 player. It shouldn't break the bank at about 300$ for everything. He deals with the issue I brought up earlier that the amp will get a tad shrill at times. You might find his measured response printouts interesting.
These seem to be out of stock everywhere. Target has a restocking date of Nov. 4th.
I can't even find the Soundpax cardboard speakers listed anyplace now. SI has come out with some new products-- not as interesting as the old products.
All you need is some old cardboard boxes and the little soundpax vibrator; does the same thing. I like the Brian Bell GC better myself and you can tweak it easily.
