Those amplified speakers used for computers. I don't know how many W my
Altec Lansings with a subwoofer pump out, but they do the business on a
Roland Virtual Guitar. Many people will have spares from buying new PC
systems.

Alternatively for something a bit more gutsy than the typical maplin modules

50 W amp module, GBP 60. Includes power supply, just fits to back of a
cabinet.

600 W Class D amp module. Okay that one's not cheap :-)
