An anonymous reader sent us a link to these neat speakers made from used cans. Oddly enough they convey a rather chic sense of style. The instructions are written in german - but you can pretty much infer the necessary steps from the supplied images. I'm guessing they may sound a bit "tinny"? - Link

But that isn't related to having a "tin ear", which can exist for the listener at any volume level.

It's a good idea, and you won't have to fork over too many beans for these.
