I'm just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the Kingrex T20 Tripath amp? Seems like it could be a better purchase than the Trends TA10.1.

This shootout seems to think so ---> http://www.stereomojo.com/KingrexTrendsShootoutXX.htm.
I've been thinking about getting a Trends for a while but when I saw this the Kingrex became the new object of my desire. I ordered one just before for my first speaker setup - all I need now is some speakers!!

Don't know if maybe this thread belongs in the amp forum but I for one is interested in this amp as well. Anybody got any more info on it than the two links above?

 

[snejk]

Ah well... I bought the cheaper Trends amp instead. Hope I will not get punished for being impatient!

From what i know... its based on tripath chips... its very efficient so there is very little electronics and runs on basically 3-9V dc depending on the model spits out max like 13-23watts so far i have seen... HIGH distortion at high volumes but they have come far in terms of in thier generations...

the trends is a class T (tripath) amp also.

There's even more powerful t-class amps like the Little Dot T150.

I've been watching out for the reviews with interest, the stereomojo review was quite favourable, and I hope the 6moos review coming soon will be more detailed.

The nice thing with the T20 is because it has that extra bit more power, it gives you more speaker options to consider.

jordansugars, I hope you let us know how it sounds

Which speakers are you planning on getting ?

 

[jordansugars]

Yeah I sure will. No idea on speakers at the moment.. it's probably going to be a while before I get them. Proably a pair of floorstanders with at least 90db efficiency - anything half decent sounding which fits this description will do me for the time being.

 

[jordansugars]

It would probably be good to get this thread moved too, maybe to the speakers or amps section. What do you think?

Thanks for the pointer jordansugars!

Red Wine Audio also makes a great (very high end) Class-T Amp.

The Best T-Amp I know of is the Rosso. http://www.firenzeaudio.com
Wonderful amplifier.

 

[musicmind]

Thanks donor, I hadnt seen the redwine and Rosso amps before.

The 6moons review was pretty detailed and positive about the T-rex.
Now I see there is a USB version coming soon.
