    Alternative for SUMOH TinyAmp S30/S60

    Does anybody know good alternatives for a SUMOH TinyAmp S30/S60 ( http://www.sumoh.com/index-2.html ) ? They don't want to sell anything, I guess, as they don't reply to emails...
    I'm looking for an energy efficient solution for 3 separate (stereo) zones...

    I have two of these amplifiers:

    there are a large amount of positive comments about thripath based amplifiers. Mine drive two floor speakers with a Receiver with very nice sound.

    I went for the microFidelity Mini Amplifier, Model 200, ( http://www.amphony.com/products/mini-amplifier.htm ) it was less expensive, around € 70,-. I also think the TrendsAudio TA 10.2 looked nice ( http://www.trendsaudio.com/index.php...mid=28&lang=en ) but it is more expensive, around € 200,-. It's an amp like many T class amps around.
    The price was the clear winner for me :-)

    Thanks for your suggestions!

    hello
    what alternative does have the same function ?
    A music auto detect turns the amplifier on and off, this way the amplifier limits power consumption.

    I have two AudioSource AMP100 models, which automatically go into standby mode after not getting an input signal for around 5 minutes. When in standby they each draw around 2-3w. They wake up right away when I start playing music.

    Also, T-class amps tend to have very low power draw when they are idle, so you can get good power savings with them even if they don't have an auto-sensing/sleep option.

    One (unique?) feature of the Sumoh TinyAmps is that they also deliver the power for a SqueezeBox. You just need one mains cable to power the TinyAmp - no extra PSU for the SqueezeBox.

    Do the Sumoh TinyAmps deliver DC power for SBs, or just a regular AC outlet (meaning that you would still need the SB's PSU)? If it's just an AC outlet that is convenient, but hardly unique. I think every integrated amp I've owned has had an AC outlet in back.
