Default amp for avantone mixcubes?

You want to avoid hemorrhaging money, call the folks at Quam, order two
5" full-range speakers for three or four bucks, put them in boxes. *Go.

Personally I am more partial to the 8" whizzer-cone speakers intended
for installed sound and paging system. *An extra $20 gets you a cheesy
wall-mount cabinet made out of particle board. *Actually not a bad check
mix monitor at all.


don't know if this rational is correct. but diy stuff seems to have no
resale value and no resale audience. i can rationalize gear purchases
a lot better if i feel i can unload them for a decent price. also, if
you drink with friends you can never be an alcoholic. to be honest
i'm pretty sure from reading you for a while...you are way handier
then i. not sure i trust myself for a diy. there a lot of things worse
then GAS.

hey, aren't those Symetrix amps underpowered for the mixcubes? i think
they want between 50-200watts at 8 ohms per channel. not that i would
be listening to them loud at all. but wouldn't some headroom be a good
idea?
