If you're spending $50 on your amp, there's no question that the SMSL SA-36 is one of the best choices.
Or a used AVR from your CL for $50.
Get yourself a nice little Amp like an SMSL SA-50, a 3.5mm aux cable to connect your TV's headphone out to the amp, and some 16 gauge speaker wire to connect amp to speakers. Bob's your uncle.
IF money is type, you can go with a cheaper amp, but the first one I mentioned is nicer unit that you can keep when you upgrade to a TV with an optical out.
$80 for the speakers and I changed the amp suggestion to the SMSL SA36. $50 for that instead of $68 for the one I originally mentioned. Same exact one but the cheaper one just has less power. Still plenty though.

You should give us a hint of your budget.
If you get some Micca MB42x and pair it with a cheap amp such as this SMSL 36 for $50 you'll be in a good spot for under $150.
If you want a subwoofer, the infinity reference r10 is on sale currently for $120 (down from $400 MSRP). You just need to combine it with a different amp that can feed a signal to it such as the Topping MX3
I understand tri-phase more now, thanks!
I'm using the Smartstim's Midistim design, which I haven't built yet so I'm not sure how it all works. I've read the guide and have a vague understanding. But I'm not sure what you mean by output jack or wiring harness.
If you mean the 3.5mm to 2RCA cable, I think I'll get something like this.
If you mean the resistor + terminal blocks (I assume that's where electrodes are plugged in?) I'll be getting both from Allied Electronics from the p/n listed in the Allied Electronics part list at the bottom.
Here is where I'm getting my parts unless something's wrong with it. I'm listing all in case you meant something else or want to take a look at the specs.
Both these from Amazon: Amplifier and PSU
These 5 from Allied: Resistor, Transformer, Terminal Block, BLK Patch Cord, RED Patch Cord
The rest like plate and cable ties, I'll have to find in a store (I'm not familiar with any diy but I'll get it eventually).
I also read your reply in that other thread about the quality of transformers. It seems the Allied one is the same as the Zoro one in the smartstim downloaded parts list. The quality should be good then as long as nothing goes wrong.
edit: I need to find a new source for the 1 or 2 terminal blocks, Allied require a minimum of 100... I heard the terminal blocks don't need to be exact so I can get away with a variation. I found this terminal block and it might work.

For the edifiers and the miccas you would need a speaker amp to power the speakers. The pair with Bluetooth are self powered, meaning the amp is built into the speaker. The last link looks kinda... Bad. In the specs, it lists 7.5 watt speakers in the monitors, so they probably distort around 4 watts.
Here's is a speaker amp for the passive speakers
