Got my TA2020 amp at the second attempt. Now have a Stonetronics 12V 5A PSU (block like a laptop PSU). I have the amp powered up and connected to a couple of 6 ohm Akai SR-570 speakers which are all that is left of an old midi system. [I do have another complete Akai system which was running with 4 speakers, but I stole 2 back.]
Given that the amp was £20 and the PSU about the same, I am gobsmacked at the quality of the sound. The Akai speakers sound far better than they have ever done before and they also sound better than our other midi system. Both midi systems were selected after a lot of careful listening and are better sounding than most.
Next challenge is to connect the amp up to some real 8 ohm speakers and see how good it sounds with those.
Currently listening to Radio 2 streamed ove t'Internet via my Samsung Galaxy S3 and it is souding pretty good.
So all that is left is to get the ceiling speakers and the kitchen system is all sorted (although I expect the fi to become low using the ceiling systems).
I am now wondering how choked I will be if I buy the CD/Amp/speakers package intended for the main room and budgeted at £200 per component and find no increase in audio performance.
