I've been told that the "Audio Nirvana" drivers, especially the 8", in a DBR work very well with the T-Amp. I think the DBR was designed for Fostex drivers - I'll check.
Off topic, but 2 weeks back irss was asking about inch->cm conversions.
In case people don't know, Google really ROCKS for this.
Just search for things like "120mm in inches" "10L in m^3" and even "120mm*3.5^2 in feet" and google will hook you up w/ the answer.

Re: Re: inches to centimeters..
Darn! I always thought it was 1"= 0.0254 meters.
One of my favorite sites is Convert-Me .
Plenty of conversions there. All online calculatons. Mass, Length, Area, Volume, Speed, Engery, Time, Power, computer stuff, etc. It rocks! (I'm a proud finacial contributor) It really desrves a place on your browser tool bar.

low cost T-Amp setup
I am completely new to the audio world, with almost no experience whatsoever.
I am looking to purchase a T-Amp for my bedroom, and was wondering what speakers are best suited to be paired with the amp.
Here are some specs I hope will help:
Room size: <150 sq. ft.
Audio source: iPod 3G and/or M-Audio MobilePre (from desktop pc)
I want to keep the entire project under 100$, including the amp.
I have a woodshop and access to a wide range of materials and tools, so the DIY route is an option. I would prefer that the speakers, DIY or pre-built, be of the bookshelf form-factor, or at least no larger than say, 10x15x30 (inches), just as a rough estimate.
Thanks for the help!

what worked for me
Eastsound E5 CDP ($800? i forget).
Sonic impact super t
8" Saba green cones (about 100 bucks on ebay)
in an golden ratio open baffle.
http://members.myactv.net/~je2a3/open.htm
<1000 dollar system that has been lovely.
im going to run an altec VOT system with this setup shortly.. will post results shortly.. (in the next month)
good luck!
the super-t has been a revelation.
the eastsound e5 - a revelation squared..

Re: low cost T-Amp setup
FE127e (or FE103 is even smaller box needed)
Vintage drivers can deliver some serious bang-for-the buck, the Sabas are at the higher end of the spectrum.

Polk R15s?
How about these?

Would the t-amp be able to drive them effectively?

Re: Polk R15s?
Not likely, at least not to very high levels. The Fry's site doesn't give specs on the Polks, so we don't know how efficient they are. Not very, would be my guess.
But they sure are cheap!!

I'm running the Insignia B2111's from Best Buy (90db, 8 Ohm and $35 per pair on sale) with the similarly powered Autocostruire T amp. There's another thread here which deals with tweaking the Insignias. I've connected the Sonic Impact T amp to the Insignias and, though I prefer the Italian amplifier, the system works quite well if you aren't after blowing down the doors.
How come nobody worries about the ohms of the speaker?
Fostexs look good but they're 8ohm, 4ohm speaker should give you more power, right?
doesnt fostex have any 4ohm speakers?
Cheers!!

4 ohms might help you with the small T-Amps because they have such a limited voltage. The same voltage into 1/2 the impedance will give you twice the power.
But you may or may not get more SPL from your 4 ohm speakers, depends on the driver. You'll need a good PSU, too.

If it can move enuff current power can double, but typlically so does distortion...

I'm running 3 sets of t-amp's into a pair of Kinetic Audio speakers.
Basically the way I understand it, the Kinetic Audio speakers have three sets of binding posts, two sets of inputs are for the woofer, when both of these sets are used, it drops the woofer to a 4olm speaker. The third set is for the tweeter, and midrange.
I mono'd the inputs of two super t's, and am using these two drive the woofer. (One for each side / or speaker)
I'm then running the midrange, and the tweeters of each speaker off of a third t-amp.
The system is a little difficult too setup, but I like the end result. Bass is no problem, and can literally rattle the walls, and shake the house.
