Audiosource Tripath Class "T" Amp

I just bought one of these amps on eBay and was wondering if anybody here has had any experience with one of these. Supposed to be a good-sounding amp, but evidently Audiosource had some sort of problems with emmisions & was unable to market them. Can't beat the price anyway.

I actually picked up one of these amps when they first started posting them on Ebay. Couldn't resist the price either! I have used this amp for a variety of setups and I must say that it has performed very well. It has good power and what I think is a somewhat "warmer" sound. It has pushed rti12, rti6's, other various fronts and now I have it running my Svs 25-31. It has that Carver thump when you turn it off but I leave mine on all of the time now. Have fun with it!Silversmoky

I have never seen this amp before. I have a few of their other products which are solid, and I should check this out. The class T amp intrigues me. Class D/T amps have classicly been uses for subwoofers because of their characteristic above 150 Hz, but it sounds like they are decently designed. Good snag for a good price!

Is this the one you are referring to audiofilet?

Just curious on this amp, if anybody knows what the 4 ohm output per channel would be? I have never been able to find that anywhere.Silversmoky

Hasn't Tripath gone Tango Uniform?Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

I have heard that Tripath has gone Tango UIniform, but evidently the technology is still in use by other companies.
The link in chadjessie@hotm's post is the correct amp.2 Channel rig:

...powering my 1Cs. I haven't had any problems with them. Plenty of power. I wanted something different, but these were all I could get at the time. I'm planning to try out an ice power amp on the SDAs and to use the T amps for my center and surrounds later. No $ at the moment.:( Good luck.

Has anybody else tried one of these amps, I was thinking of getting one to power my RTiA7's, would I see an improvement over my Denon 3808's power?
