Questions about Super T vs. T-Amp, and speakers

raduga New member Username: Raduga Post Number: 1 Registered: Feb-07	Posted on Friday, February 23, 2007 - 22:29 GMT Hi, I'm a total newbie when it comes to hi-fi audio. I'm also on a budget, and I seem to have found the perfect amp for music listening in my tiny bedroom: the T-Amp. I saw some very long discussion threads about this amp, but I haven't seen much about the newer Super-T. Maybe I just missed it. Anyway, how does this compare to the original T in sound quality? Pretty much "the same or better", right? Also... I need some speakers for this amp. I was pretty psyched about the Paradigm Atom Monitor v.5, but these recommend 15W of power. So they wouldn't work well with the T-Amp? Any other small (8Wx11D max) speaker recommendations for under $300 that would match well with the T-Amp? Again, this is for music at close range. thanks (:

raduga New member Username: Raduga Post Number: 2 Registered: Feb-07	Posted on Saturday, February 24, 2007 - 00:41 GMT After further investigation, I see that the Atoms are rated at "in-room sensitivity of 90dB (87dB anechoic), and recommends amplifiers with outputs of 15-80Wpc". So is that considered the correct sensitivity for this amp?

I've always suspected this amp would be built into a sturdier, more attractive package and sent out at the price of real hi-fi. It's cheap, so I guess many people will overlook it. I've yet to actually hear one. I once rang around hi-fi dealers in my own town and they had never heard of it. V
raduga New member Username: Raduga Post Number: 3 Registered: Feb-07	Posted on Sunday, February 25, 2007 - 01:31 GMT Thanks for the suggestions, all. After more online research, I went ahead and purchased my first amp and some new speakers last night. I selected the Trends Audio TA-10.1 amp, based on the same family of IC chips as the original T-Amp. The various reviews for this amp are glowing, and I really liked the small size and aluminum case. The $99 price helped a lot too For speakers, I found a pair of Athena Technologies Audition AS-B1 on special for $150, so I jumped on it. They've got an advertised sensitivity of 91dB, so it seems like a good match for the T-amp and my small listening space. At about 9x7x14" they're a bit bigger than I wanted, but I guess I'll grow into them, and maybe eventually use them as fronts in a theater setup. Can't wait to hear 'em...

I'm sorry, did I miss where the reviewer actually reviewed the amplifier? Good luck, raduga, get a good source and you should have great success with your system. http://www.gcaudio.com/resources/howtos/index.html Pay attention to speaker set up. http://www.tnt-audio.com/casse/waspe.html .
