Thanks Tom, good reads.  I've always looked at the Betsy loudspeaker as the ultimate in easy to build diy C&C, nice to see you can get a fully built speaker at these prices.  Do you need a high dollar SET amp to bring out their best, or is there a C&C amp that works well with them?

Any of the cheap chip amps will work nicely, including the Fleawatt and Folsum's.

If you just need the baffles, starting price is $125 a pair. But make sure you can get your drivers before ordering. They also recommend the Fleawatt and a Spud Kit DIY tube amp.

Now this is really cool Spud amp.

Sweet, thanks.  Don't really need any more speakers, but I keep looking at this one.

Are the drivers available? Is the Spud Kit still available?
