Have developed a new amp circuit called Class T. It allows for
extreme efficiency (95% in some cases) and potential for reducing
distortions significantly.
Oh, and there is a class T amp out now, with 15 watts a side, that
people like the sound of, that costs 30.00 (USD)... !

Tape Op reviewed it recently and while they didn't throw their
other amps in the trash, they did like it. Now, a 30 buck amp that
sounds good is cool enough, but what is really cool is a 300.00
amp that kills 2K amps and puts out 1000 watts. This is where
the Class T technology seems to be leading.
Yes, this will show up in our industry.
Anybody seen/heard any Class T stuff?
