    Very simple stereo amplifier for MarkAudio Alpair5.3 speakers

    Many months later, I finally had the time to work on those speakers. For those interested, here is the build thread on DIY Audio Woden Baby Labs Bloodhound build Here's a picture of the almost finished result (still have to sand and finish).

    Very simple stereo amplifier for MarkAudio Alpair5.3 speakers

    Quick follow up. I received the Loxjie D30 yesterday and started using it in tandem with the SMSL SA-36A PRO. So far so good! I am still using my super old Klipsch Promedia GMX satellite speakers (minus the busted subwoofer) and I am pleasantly surprised with the sound that comes out of them. I...

    For anyone interested, I ordered the SMSL SA-36A PRO. I will start from there and see in the future I might upgrade for a better one. Thanks everyone for your help!

    Also, I was thinking, since I don't need any special features or even a good looking piece of equipment, at that price point wouldn't it be beneficial sound wise to get a simple good quality chip amp in say a plastic case?

    Hehe funny you mention Henkjan's speakers, I wanted to build one of his designs before deciding on the BloodHound. The Henkjan were juste too big for my desk. As for the woodworking, you can probably have a shop do the cutting for you and assemble it yourself.

    Ah yes thanks for the details escape2. Speaking of power, since my eventual amplifier will be hidden away, do you think it is a problem to leave it running all the time at max power and control the volume using the D30?

    Very simple stereo amplifier for MarkAudio Alpair5.3 speakers

    Yeah the Emotiva is a bit out of my price range unfortunately. I saw the Aiyima 07, it seems nice, but I was wondering if it was not a bit overkill at 300w per channel. According to the specs page my speaker drivers have a nominal power rating of 5w @ 3.4Ohm. Edit : I'm new at this so I probably...
