When it comes to plasma speakers there are basically 2 kinds, flyback and tesla coil. Tesla coils can achieve more volume and they're more impressive, flybacks have less volume, but they can be powerful too, they are a lot simpler to make than a tesla coil.
I've only built the latter, with a 555 circuit. The key to a nice 555 flyback speaker is to use a preamplifier at pin 5, which will drasticallt increases the volume.
This is a low power one I built a while ago, the most powerful one I built is around 100W, I'm still lagging behind when it comes to tesla coils.

I won't be at home until this weekend, so I can't create anything new, sorry.

Cool, I did the exact same thing in a college lab years ago. Didn't know about the preamp into the 555, though. Never really got much volume output, though.

My buddy once set his mattress on fire with a tesla coil.
