That occurred to me too. What's the reason - penny pinching?

To e-mail, change noise into sound.
The hum has been attributed to a PCB fault or damage.It would probably
be easy to fix but the builder has much better things to do with his
time than hunt around for the cause.I will have a tech look into it
later.
The other chip amp [Sonic Art] is very quiet.
It would be hard to imagine a less suited speaker to a chip amp than
TTs Equinox-with its many drivers,crossover complexity and low
impedence.Very many substantial SS amps would struggle on these-as the
smaller M.E.s did.That they still sound pretty good with the buggered
one is an indication of the potential of these things on less demanding
speakers.On such speakers their bass and treble is at least up to very
good SS amps of similar power,but as TT says,it is their midrange which
is special.I would add to that their image depth and precision,their
speed and their dynamics[both macro and micro].
Trevor I cannot agree that the midrange is most easy to get right.If
anything bass is most easy to get right.Any decent P.A. amp can do
reasonable bass.Even digital ones.
