    Temple Audio Bantam titchy tiny amp

    Hi All,

    http://www.templeaudio.net/bantam.html

    Just wanted to say thanks for the bods who make this - I must have got it about a year ago and I really like it for a discrete install

    Basically it sits underneath my bed along with a receiver - powering a Bose 2 +1 speaker plus subwoofer either side of the bed

    http://www.bose.co.uk/GB/en/home-and...ss-3-speakers/

    I am liking the sound so much thinking of getting rid of the Audiolab amp and redundant cd player; tuner and cassette player which never get used downstairs

    Just wondering if the amp will be enough to power a couple of Castle Harlech speakers

    I'm not sure what speakers you are planning but they are surely an improvement

    Hi There,

    I've been a member on this forum for a while but only just remembered my login...Doh!

    Like the man says, the bantam deserves much more than Bose speakers.

    I've got 4 T-Amps around the house at the moment, a Bantam Classic (15wpc @ +3 gain), Bantam Gold (25wpc with optional +6 gain), Muse M21 (25wpc + additional 60w linear PSU), and a Mini-T (20wpc).

    All very very good, for my money the Mini-T is the best value/sound quality package at £62 (and has a UK warranty). I'm hoping to try it with my muse PSU which is being repaired (the danger of buying straight from china)

    I run them all into upgraded mission 780SE's, and the sound is excellent, there're lots of people using these T-Amps with much more exotic kit.

    Cheers,

    Will

    sorry should have been clearer - like the setup a lot; because it is so discreet and above all small which is ok for bedroom radio and streamed listening

    The downstair speakers are obviously a lot lot nicer sound wise; but they would look a bit daft either side of my bed!

    Sorry mate need to learn to read...

    They'd look smart by the bed!

    I have to say that these little t-amps are really good, most of my 'normal' stuff is audiolab, and they certainly compete...
    Cheers Will
