I am using custom tripaths on my horns the price of energy is my motivation. I plan to use them more and more from the bass up. A battery tripath on horns is a awesome thing if done right. All these guys are biased to wards tubes. Half here prolly haven't even heard a tripath horn set up. imagine having worked on designing and building the best tube amps you can build for ten years like I have or double that in case of a lot of guys here only to find a sla tripath outperforms there tube amps? I wouldn't want to even know.Get it? Tripaths love horns they are not strong on anything much less or the smallest tripath chip I am referring too. I have not tried any bigger. Mine runns on a single large sla for 2 weeks before charging. You can get good sla's from ex government ups supplies often sold at auctions for scrap weight or less. I am considering building a sla powered dht preamp atm. Battery's rule. If your loaded try Jeff Roland amps.
