First impression: so small! I was expecting something bigger from the pics. And it sounds good. I was using it with batteries, I tried a 12V psu (just something I found laying around) but the amp started buzzing audibly (the amp ITSSELF) and started getting warm, so I said no thanks. I'll have to buy a dedicated psu for it.
I tried it with my mom's 6 Ohm bookshelf's and our (!) floorstanding 8 ohm speakers, just for the heck of it. It can drive the small bookshelf speakers to painful levels, especially with the mpx as a preamp. The sound was nothing special, but neither are those speakers. However, this little beast could drive the floorstanding-max-200-watt speakers real loud too. And there was no loss of bass, it had a nice sound. After a while I changed back to the integrated amp and it did perform more effortlessly, but the T-amp was going off 8 AA batteries. WOW! I am waiting for my paradigm atoms now, so I wont be able to use this little jem too much, but it is real nice.
