for the 7 T
I purchased an Audiosource 7 T amplifier after becoming interest in the Class T technology. At $299 (via eBay), I felt the investment was minimal and worth an experiment. I'm using the amplifier to power a JMLab Cobalt center speaker and Ohm SB4A subwoofer. I wanted a fairly powerful amplifier, both for the subwoofer and to provide more headroom/dynamics for dialog on the Cobalt.
I find the amplifier quiet, detailed, and with a good deal of dynamic range. I also find the sound uncolored. Since I'm not using the amplifier for two-channel reproduction, I haven't judge its imaging. I also think the amplifier has fairly good micro-dynamics, handling soft passages as well as louder ones. The amplifier seems free of graininess or glare, and it integrates well with my Cary P7 home theater controller.
Product Weakness: Unit is not longer available apart from NOS (and possibly used). Product Strengths: Quiet, powerful, detailed, uncolored.
