I'm running a T-Amp with some some largeish speakers for my kitchen squeezebox. I bought 2 T-Amps from the US and 2 mains PSU's from the UK back in June of this year. They eat batteries, and you need a PSU which can put out >2amps, this was tricky to source. Costs as follows: 1. 2 x T-Amps

Oh me of little faith. I ordered it on Tuesday evening and it arrived on Thursday morning. Very good service from Media-Zone. First impressions are that it's tiny and it's not quite as cheap and nasty looking as I expected (it looks ok really and it's small enough to hide anyway). Trouble is that

If you fancy a Tripath amp and are not averse to a bit of soldering (Surface Mount) have a look at the amps on www.41Hz.com. I've built an AMP 3 - cost for the kit 25 euros plus shipping. To this you need to add a case and some basic mounting H/W and a PSU. Using a cheap CB radio PSU from Mapli

Search Ebay for "Sonic Impact". There's a European seller sellng them with a "Buy it now" price of about £20 (plus £15 postage). But I haven't bought one off him, so I don't know how trustworthy he is?? Chris -- cbemoore ___ audiophiles mailing list

Don't know if your 'dealer down the road' is Grahams, but they do B&W as well as Linn and the Gallo stuff. KEF and Sonance products are generally well thought of too. IIRC the Gallo stuff is quite expensive. I built some dedicated SqueezeBox amps for an installation I did http://www.at-view.co.

Cheers for that - very interested in the speakers you mention Inguz, that's great that the ceiling mount is seperate. According to their website, there's a dealer up the road from me that sells them so I can actually hear them first unlike other ceiling speakers. -- Jimmerz __
