Chorus1 Fan Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Anyone here tried this Kinter everyone seems to be raving about hooked up to a pair of old-school Klipsch speakers? https://kinterusa.com/product-line?olsPage=products%2Fkinter-k2020a-limited-edition-original-tripath-ta2020-020-class-t-hi-fi-audio-mini-amplifier-with-12v-5a-power-supply-black It's only 32.00 on Amazon right now. If nothing else, it would be cool to say this tiny thing is all that's pushing my_________ (La Scalas, K-Horn, Heresy, etc.) I'm tempted to buy one for my office & do just that. If I do, I want to buy a cd/dvd player with a small footprint so the whole rig sits on top of the speaker 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I have this amp, the 2020a. I use it on my front porch with chromecast audio. Its a really good amp for my purpose, I left it on all summer and fall, outside in a basket. I bought the cheap fake version used for $5 delivered, it was 2x what is was worth. Make sure to get the real one. It's got more power than I could believe for it's size, and sounds really good,imo. I've listened to it many hrs looking at the sky..... It replaced a Jamo 50 watt per channel with toroidal supply. At any modest volume it sounded about as good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tested at the Klipsch HQ Lab in 2007, by a Klipsch Engineer at 6 clean Watts per channel. PWK would have loved it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmlowz Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 This looks like my Lepi 2020a maybe a rebadge? Nice sounding amp, I might have to pull it out of the audio storage vault and fire it up again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be thinkin, that's not too loud, and it won't be,,,,,,,,good luck. Now that I think about it I think the good ones have a decent heat sink instead of just electronics.

If it's good enough for Claude & a Klipsch engineer, it's good enough for me 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Tripath chip is considered one of the greatest chip designs of the last century and has withstood the test of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I have a Tripath amp and it sounds fine. For the price you can try it and use it if you like it. Mine is currently driving some patio speakers for background music usage. Enjoy, Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
