small audio ampilifier..

any amp would do. I know I read about a $30 7w x 2 amp that some folks are using over on avsforum.com, but for the life of me I can't find that thread.

If form factor is paramount, then i like parasound zamps - they're tiny, 45w x 2. A bit expensive though - typically $250 or so new.

Thanks.. I'm thinking that even the parasound zamps would be too big for this purpose.. I would hope that I'd be able to find something about the size of a chalk board eraser or so... It's just to get the sound of the TV out of the cabinet.. nothing more..

Why not use a automotive amp...many choices.

Try these:

Mono 20W

Depending on the quality/price desired you can get away by dissecting a pair of computer speakers (well, just one that houses the amp, actually) and re-deploying the amp in a little box of its own. It's quite surprising how much better quality sound you can usually get by getting rid of the crappy speakers supplied with that amp. Obviously requires some tinkering and soldering, but if you are into it... I had best results with amps from Labtec PC speakers so far, but pretty much any brand will do, again, depends on the quality/price you're looking for.
