Here are some pictures of the new amplifier line. 

This is the big boy @ 1200W per channel into 4 ohms.   If your 2A3s won't drive em.... give this beast a try.    Its fully capable of driving a 2 ohm load with about 2300W per side, perfect for Lowthers.   

I'm very favorably impressed with the build quality and layout.   Whoever designed this did an excellent job.   They get the "Thats how I would have done it" Award.   Thick solid aluminum faceplate with removable facia for cleaning the air filter.   Air is drawn in from the front and exhausted out the back.



Gain adjustment with detents so you can adjust each side exactly.   Nice touch.... LEDs for various functions including fault, clipping and signal presence.    Those knobs are not plastic either.   The tops and sides are powder coated with a textured black finish that is very classy. 



Another side.



A shot under her skirt.   Yeah baby!   Nice layout, these guys know what they are doing.





Hmmmm output devices....



Hmmm.... nice extruded heatsink.   The two channels are mirrored with two fans pulling air from the front down the profile of the heatsink.

That's the toroid from hell!

Nice looking units Kevin. I need to buy a house so I can start shaking the walls.

Your pictures do a lot more for the amplifier than the mfg's web-page.

Good pictures really make a difference for marketing stuff on the web.   I agree...  took me 2 hours to take some good photos and polish them up for the web.    It gives you a lot better idea of the quality and when you make something hot, you may as well show people.

Ok... got the section on the web site done.    Might be a few typo's but I'm seeing double from looking at the monitor all day.    Let me know if you guys see anything obvious.

Hi all!

Those Face Audio amps look really similar to the t.amp's sold in here Europe by Thomann.

Also Kobble Electonic is selling very similar amps. I'm not sure which are the originals ones and which ones are the clones?

I have had the TA2400 model for almost a year now. I'm really pleased with its performance and all. Here are some pics I took: http://www.dvdplaza.fi/forums/showpost.php?p=848154&postcount=47

That same thread has some performance measurements take by a fellow Finn. You can't probably understand the text part but you can always look at tha data: http://www.dvdplaza.fi/forums/showthread.php?t=56613

This particular subwoofer of mine uses two of the TA2400's.

Thanks for that link, the measurements are useful because its essentially the same amp.   Face is the marketing division of the manufacture that does OEM work that gets re-badged by other companies.   Its not a copy, just marketed under different brand names for different markets. 

Measurements look good upon a quick look.   I'd like to get a translation too.    Its always nice to have third party measurements on this stuff.   Has more credibility than the marketing numbers.

Thanks for posting the information.

I still have special pricing on these amps.   Face Audio has extended my special pricing.

The entire Titanium lineup is discounted greater than 40% off the price listed on the web site.    These are great amps and Face is doing a fantastic job of standing behind the product.    Nothing but good things to say about the company and the product at this point.

I'm not able to list my pricing on the web site due to dealer policy but if your interested in these bad-boys, drop me an email.

Afternoon Kevin,

I received my second F1200 today; arrived in great shape - double boxed and all.
Thanks for the prompt service!

Hey... no problem Larry.   Your my favorite customer so your orders ship quickly.   Everyone else has to wait a couple extra days.   

[Larry McConville]

LOL, I didn't realize you were running for the primaries!

On a serious note; I'm curious to see how an F250 would do driving my mains (GR OB-7).
What are your thoughts regarding PRO amps driving 'main' channels?

Bump...Nudge...

[Kevin Haskins]

Sorry Larry.... didn't see that question.

I'm using the F1200-TS as my daily listening amp right now.   That and a pair of Keplers are my main system in the office.    Is it as good as  my UcD400HG monoblocks?   No.... but its not a slouch and I'd have no problem using them in 2-channel use.    The active cooling can be an issue though if your using the amp inside the listening area.   The fans make an audible noise.   If your designing a HT with the amps remote mounted that isn't an issue but if your amp is front & center between your speakers 10' from you listening position it will be.
