Temple Audio Bantam Gold Amplifier
« on: 15 Oct 2014, 12:50 pm »
Quite simply this is far and away the best "small format" amp I have ever used.  I've had the Lepai, Topping, HLLY, Virtue, and several TPA3116 based amps. 

Rated at 25 watts/channel and can easily drive any reasonably efficient speaker with ease. 

Condition is a solid 9/10.  It's fit/finish/build is definitely in a different class compared to the Chinese Tripath based amps. 

It will give 10x the price a run for their money. This is way overkill for any computer system that you may have.

It is labeled as a Monoblock on the front, but it is a stereo amp.   

This amp sells for $320 USD + shipping from the UK and even at that price is a steal. 

I am asking the modest sum of $150 SHIPPED.    Comes with a very high quality power supply.

BUmperoo to the top... this would make a stupendous desk amp or an extra room, truth be told it may give a lot of the heavy hitters a serious run... Do NOT confuse this with a typical T amp or a Topping, in direct comparisons with some major players it holds its own quite nicely.. A steal at this price.  I'd go $135 to anyone interested in the spirit of the holidays.

Back for sale.   You won't find a finer "desktop amp" for this price!  This would cost ~$375 direct from Bantam brand new.
