[QUOTE="Wolla, post: 830766, member: 664"] Ok, been busy with a whole new plan. Since my original setup sounded a bit like a PA system and also did not have a great soundstage, I chucked the cheap tweeters and crossovers and made a complex extender for the Q-Acoustics full rangers, so the big cones will do bass duties only and I have changed the 2.0 amp for a 2.1 amp. The ear speakers are 8 Ohm and I can thus run the 2 in parallel into 4 Ohm. Played with op-amps and can now run the normally 9V+ amp in 5V mode. So here is what it looks like when extended for a decent soundstage: [IMG]http://a64.tinypic.com/vjoqu.jpg[/IMG] and here it is in storage mode: [IMG]http://a68.tinypic.com/dqhe9l.jpg[/IMG] will hook the whole lot up in the morning and see if it works as good as I had hoped.
