Some years ago, a popular low budget setup was a Lepai 2020+ (or 2020A+) in combination with the Dayton B652 bookshelf speakers. For various reasons I had to pass on the combination, but I'm revisiting the idea in 2018.
Apparently the "secret sauce" of the Lepai was a Tripath 2020 integrated circuit, but Lepai no longer makes an amp with that chip. There are some knockoffs that try to fool consumers (like the "Lepy" 2020), but the only amp still using the 2020 I was able to find was this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Kinter-K2020.../dp/B077Z7DBRT/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8
Has anyone here tried the Kinter 2020A+? Does it sound as good as the original Lepai? Are the Dayton B652's still a good match for this amp?
