I once used an old one kilowatt ham radio amplifier to amplify the
audio frequencies from my stereo.  I ran its output into a big coil.
Mozart then started coming from *everywhere*:  Radios and TVs that were
turned off, speakers not connected to anything, telephone handsets
that were unplugged, out of my vacuum cleaner hose, etc.  I could even
hear it, very faintly, from a ball bearing I stuck in my ear.
