My old monitor has two mounted loundspeakers that I fell in love with.
Even though the monitor is no longer usable, I would like to continue
to use the speakers next to my new monitor. The speakers themselves are
detachable, but they require the amplifying unit that is part of the
monitor. It would be difficult for me to obtain a cheap and simple
amplifier to power this set, so I think it might be a good idea to take
the original amplifier off the monitor. I haven't looked inside yet (I
have yet to ask a technician to discharge the CRT before anything
else), but I want to know if it would be a wise thing to try. Do these
integrated amplifiers tend to be isolated from the main CRT circuitry,
only sharing the power cord with it?
