DIY desktop tuner, amp and speakers

[AIA]

I am interested in building a desk-top amp (10 watts, or so) and tuner to drive a pair of small, full-range speakers. I could buy something like this at Target for $30, but that's not the point.

Does anyone have any sources for the design and parts?

I think that I have a grip on the speakers, although any suggestions will help. I have also seen a few books and websites touting amp designs, but ditto the suggestion request. What I really can't find is a source for a small FM tuner to build in to the system.

Thanks.

try Velleman kits

Do a Google search for Velleman. They make lots of electronic kits. I know Parts Express sells some of them, but you may find more kits at other sites.

At PE #320-212 is a kit for a small stereo amp, 2 x 10 watts at 8 ohms RMS for $27. #320-084 is an AM/FM radio kit for $35 (as I look at it, I see its not Velleman).
