Setup my new amp over the weekend, using for my home theater setup.
Driving the front three speakers in a 7.1 system, some 8 ohm 86.5 db efficient monitors where the sub kicks in at 50 hz.
Was worried that this amp would have enough power, but its fine for this application. We don't listen normally listen too loud, but gets loud enough for me. And dynamics are good too.
Since I'm only using three channels, I tied the three inputs together for the unused channel, which tied the + and - inputs to ground, and put a 2w 10 ohm resistor across the unused out. Hopefully I won't have any trouble with the unused channel like this.
Overall I'm really happy with outcome of this project. I had a chassis from an old amp I dismantled, and some other spare parts, so only had to buy the amp and a meanwell PS, $125 for both including tax and shipping for the meanwell.

Yes good dynamics and quiet also changed two OP to 1656 sounds brighter but very good but the RCA4580 is very nice but this amp is somehow what you pay for.
Neutral and a little boring compared to Tripath 2022 which dont have same dymanic of course but the trade of with some cheap componets I guess to favour income.
But still better then any TPA3118.

TPA3251 power up with EAPST-200-36-A
I'm powering up my TPA3251 (EAUMT-0100-4-A) and its PSU (EAPST-0200-36-A) and I'm getting a red LED whenever I turn it on. I checked the Power voltage and it is 36.38V.
Is the red LED a problem?
