DizRotus Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Just got the seller’s number and sent him a text. Plan to take my Wiener TPA3118 and Pono player to audition these Saturday or Sunday. To be clear, no matter how impressed, I have no space for these and do not want them to keep and use. That said, if someone here wants them, I’m willing to buy them for $500, or less, and store them temporarily while the new owner makes arrangements to ship them, or to collect them in Southeast Michigan.

DizRotus Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I assume they’ll fit in my wife’s Ford Edge; it swallowed a pair of La Scalas. I’ll take cash to be able to buy these for pass through, not flipped, to a forum member. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That unfortunate name for this excellent class D board was chosen by its maker, gmarsh, on the diyaudio forum. I heard that someone tried to challenge the name choice, but it didn’t stand up in court, Ask Rich, @rhing, if you don’t believe me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glens Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 It appears as though, all told, the speaker connectors occupy considerably more volume than the board itself. How can it possibly be any good? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can it possibly be any good? If you think the TPA3118 board is small, which it is, get a load of my 7297. It’s that tiny board in the upper left corner of the pine square just to the left of the boombox. @rhing got me into these chip amps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More efficient..99db/1w/1m. Good to 25 hz. Amazing speakers. I know of no others than can match them pound for pound, and none remotely near what these can be had for. While they turn up more than Elevens...which are scarce as hen't teeth, they are pretty rare, especially in this condition and at this price.

Elevens wouldn't, and that is what Carl and I were talking about. I had to rent a trailer for those, and I had a large minivan at the time. Don't know how big that car is, but these should fit in most vehicles. Here's the spec sheet. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using them at my Cossator River property now to provide adequate calliope music for the cabins about a half mile away... You should come a day or so early to Pilgrimage this year and we could spend a night or two there. Go straight from there to Hope...less than two hours.
