It's winter, and the amplifier in my PC speakers just died.

I think it'd be kinda cool to have a toob speaker amp, but I'm too lazy
(and time-challenged) to build one up from scratch.

Well, since nobody else is going to answer your question about
hollow-state amplifier, I'll take a stab.

Here's a good starting place

And another

Even Amazon is getting into the act.

Additionally, there is a Yahoo mailing list called "funwithtubes".
Very nice list. Lots of old timers with first hand experience. And
the files section is full of plans and schematics.

I wonder if you could connect Peltier modules to toobs and use that to
power the solid state amp which actually did the work... ?
