Thanks cliveb, iphone and radish. That helps. I'm trying to find a stockist in the Sydney (Aus) area to go in and have a look for the 2nd gen amp. Have a great weekend (sorry to rub it in, but this is the Anzac Day long weekend). Gus -- Gus

If you're handy with a soldering iron, there's an outfit in Sweden that does kit amps using the Tripath chips. See www.41hz.com. I've built the AMP6, which is the low-end one using a TA2020 chip. It was pretty easy to put together. (The other kits use quite a few surface mount components, and I f

Would the new amp (http://www.decibelhifi.com.au/prod71.htm ) have enough oomph to offer a good quality output for either of these speakers? http://www.krix.com.au/Product/Detail.aspx?p=44&id=18 http://www.krix.com.au/Product/Detail.aspx?p=44&id=6 Would be wonderful if they could but I'm a bit s

For a while there, you heard lots about these amps (http://www.stereophile.com/solidpoweramps/1006sonic/) but now it looks as though they've been discontinued. I was considering getting a couple to hook up to one pair of Krix Holographix speakers in the kitchen and a pair of Krix Equinox bookshel
