Hope you've got a big living room!

Ali, I'm hoping the Sachikos and a few class watts have the ability to make the walls disappear. One way or another

I have them dressed to thrill now, will try to take decent enough pics to post this weekend.

I expect the Mini T 2020 and the Decware will both major on soundstage and detail but I could see me travelling towards something like this maybe...

I am a tube convert and although it may not be to Jerry's taste I could envisage it being more to mine.

The nice Postie man delivered a very cute package this morning

All hooked up and working fine. Rather cramped at the back as I run a REL sub from the speaker outputs as well, but that's not beyond the wit of man to resolve.

I read that the Tripath chip reverses polarity. Do I need to reverse polarity of the speaker connections?

l have a Mini-t it sounds amazin-cheers Jerry!

If they do then the speaker phase will be 180 degrees out. Some people can notice this & others don't appear to be able to. If what you say is correct then if it was me i'd swap both speaker connections over & you'll be back in absolute phase.

You don't need to, but you might find some things sound different & not others. Up to you at the end of the day.

Enjoy your speakers

If you read the TNT review of the Kingrex I think they recommend reversing the speaker polarity as Tripath chips invert their output. It sound a lot better with my Sure T-amp 2024C when I reversed the polarity on my Klipsch RB 81's, YMMV

Yes, it was in the Kingrex review.

Do I just swap the speaker to amp connections at one end only (so that positive goes to negative) and do this on both speakers?

Yes, one end only on both channels

Yes,they produce a huge sound.Heard a pair of one of our diy get-togethers,and everyone ended up listening from about 15 meters away,and that was with a 0.75w/ch amp!

What do you think of the sound quality, Steve?

I have to confess that I am still running a pair of the Mini-T's to bi-amp my MBL speakers - and imho it sounds fabulous. I haven't heard this sort of hear-thru midrange transparency before with any amp. And the darn things cost £60 each.

Yup, my pleasure.

I came in for the usual cr*p on the W*gw*m thread I started about the Mini-T from the usual trolls, but a LOT of folks there are hearing the same stunning sound from the Mini-T as Tarzan and I do.
