I went to goodwill (with the speaker) and picked up the 16v/1.8a Canon power supply. Works like a charm. I need to get some quality contact cleaner and lube as the volume pot is pretty scratchy.
Right now I've got it hooked up to my iPod Classic 160 and it sounds pretty good. Had I not been demoing some full size speakers and quality receivers earlier, I would have said that sound great. They are actually pretty flat, which for listening to music for enjoyment is okay, but I imagine they would work out really well for mixing. In fact, I think that these would be great as monitors for a Garageband recording station I had been thinking about. Apparently Bob Clearmountain uses these speakers (search/find "Apple") to double-check his mixes (Yamaha NS10's being his mains).
Anyway, $4.00 for the speakers + $3.00 for the power supply + some taxation = less than $8.00 for some pretty quality speakers which double nicely as a nifty Apple collectible -- I'm not complaining.
