I have a 1GB Creative MuVo MP3 player for recording dialogues for teaching. It records sound in WAV format. The place I work for does not have CD/MP3 players powerful enough to play in a classroom of 50 students. 60 Watt tape players just about work ok but I am getting sick of chewed up tapes. I am thinking of getting speakers and an amplifier loud enough to play to 50 students in a classroom. Which do you recommend? How many watts do I need? I want the speakers and amp to be small enough to fit in an average sized backpack.

take your Mp3 player into pantip , future or zeer and try out the ranges of computer speakers available - many sizes and types and quite cheap.

Thanks. I will do that the next time I am in Bangkok. I am working in Chiang Rai. I Appreciate your advice. I hope they let me blast up the volume in the shop!

I'm pretty sure most of the sub/sat combos will have more than enough power, 10W RMS is probably all thats required in a fairly quiet room.
