Trafomatic Experience Two
I recently got a Trafomatic Experience Two second hand (from John Darko - the guy who did the review below):

I got it for some 86db Lenehan ML1's I will be using as my computer speakers where my ears will be really close to the speakers so its 8w will be fine. Since I haven't got those speakers yet I tried it on some 89db Lenehan ML3 speakers. Out in Australia virtually everyone knows about Lenehan speakers (they can polarize a bit - many love them - some dodn't) but if you don't here is a review:

This is one fine amp and as John said it's really feisty. Everyone was surprised how well it it drove them. We had it at volumes comparable to what was being used with Mac 501's (they do 1.2kw on peaks) - way above what I would have them at and it did sound a bit stretched but still really lovely. I have no doubt at the levels I listen at (it is quite a bit lower than that) it won't be stretched and probably will be better again. Highly recommended.
More detail to follow when I get it permanently in my system.
Thanks
Bill
