Anyone have any experience with these?

I was thinking about buying a 5 channel and using 4 of them to bi-amp my speakers.  

Thanks

I have a Butler TDB2250 and am extremely pleased woth it.  It sound excellent, is very powerful and runds quite cool (cooler than my Bel Canto eVo 4 Gen II).  The six mooons review of the 2250 can be seen here:

A five channel Butler....I believe AC member , mca , owns one. I own a pair of Butler 2250's....plenty of power for the SP Tech speakers. It's a good amp....check out the 6moons review. And there is a dealer in FL....and a dealer who is a member here. Give it a listen. :)

I own one and am still extremely pleased with it. Bested my Rotel and Cinenova amps by a wide margin. Very powerful with the magic of tubes with no tube drawbacks! I leave the amp powered up 24/7 and it always runs cool to the touch. Dig the blue glow, too  :D

I had the opportunity to listen to the 2250 for a week or more while it was enroute to its new home on Long Island :wink:   I left it on continuously as well, never ran warm no matter what I threw at it.  Sonics were wonderful top to bottom with bass control almost as firm as the big switching amps!  It just seemed to be idling along with a "what me worry?" attitude!  The only amp that I've heard in my system that equaled it was a demo AKSA 100N+ which, in my system, was magical!   I have/had a VAC Avatar, a moded Carver ZR1000 and various 3886 chip amps (single and bridged) on hand at the time.  Also had an big cap Odyssey Stratos previous to the Avatar.  

HTH...
