T-amp advice please.

[Jolly John]

Hi.

This is my first post, found you whilst researching T-amps. I am without an amp at the moment, and was thinking of buying an Amptastic Mini-1. I'm not sure if this type of amp is suitable for the set-up I have in mind, so I'll give you a run down of components I'm thinking of using. Quite a few years ago I built a pair of Audax A652's, which to my ears still sound good. I also built a Celestion based sub, powered with a B&K amp. My plan is to build a new preamp and Linkwitz-Riley crossover, xover frequency at about 80Hz. These units are Elliot sound Production projects, ones which I have built in the past, and really liked, wished I'd never parted with them!

Do you reckon the Mini-1 will do the job? I'm completely new to class D, any advice would be much appreciated.

I only know the chip, but not from Amptastic. It does sound good if you can do with 10 watt. I can't. It fine for dynamically compressed music like most pop and rock music. But with jazz or classic recordings with wide dynamic range, it's simply not enough power.

You should try it before you buy.
