Not a problem under normal music conditions and an 8 Ohm load. My amp is in an even smaller case.

could always try a laptop psu and see how it fares
There's a massive thing here about TPA3116.
I've read most of it over the years, fool!

Currently using a NUC power adapter 19V 3.42A which seems ok with the MS400, they seem pretty efficient and rated around 30W max anyway.
Will check it out after a prolonged session.
There is one point that is often overlooked, most TPA3116 have their output inductors optimised for a lowish impedance, say 4 Ohms. If one uses a higher impedance speaker, a very mild treble lift will occur. Even driving my clone 15 Ohm LS3/5a's it's hardly detectable.
World's cheapest passive pre-amp just arrived. Bought for a bit of fun, sounds OK though. Way better than you'd expect actually!

Cost me a whole £3.14 delivered and only took a week and a half to arrive.
Link here if anybody is imterested.

Well it's here and sounding awesome! The L Pass2 pre-amp. Love the button controlled inputs and gain level x3.
This should be a great match to the Quad power amps as they have varying input sensitivities. I reckon this could be the only one in the UK.
