T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components


T+A stands for Theory and Application.

I'm keeping this broad and open to T+A's HV Series components (HV = High Voltage),

Which (currently) includes two integrated amplifiers, two multi-source players, preamplifier, amplifier, power supply, and SACD/CDP/DAC.

Creating this thread for owners to share their impressions, findings, thoughts, experiences, and questions about their HV components. Comparisons to other T+A Series products are also welcome.

@steve59 : I don’t know whether your issue is Amp related or not, but I can tell you with absolute certainty, the T+A HV amps ‘ integrated amps can drive ANY speakers out there with ease 

The h590 has even a touch more. Maybe I’m asking the impossible trying to get high volume detail and dynamics at low listening levels? My ears probably aren’t sensitive enough anymore but It’s all My systems missing 

The h590 has even a touch more. 

More of what? Watts at 8 Ohms? Or 4 Oms. You realize it’s not just about that, right? 
 

Again, I have no clue whether what’s missing is amp related. Can be anything 

 

I went on a rampage in the early 90’s and brought home every 150-200 wpc ss amp I could and they all sounded alike. I was shopping at B&K, Adcom, prices so no wonder nothing stood out. Stepping up a little bit a krell kav 300 I’l convinced me not all amps sound the same. It baked 3 times in 5 years so I sold it as a pre, man that was sweet. It’s all trial and error so I’m going to try more power first and if that works I’ll have a path. I like horizontal biamping because it allows me to put a hard brute on the bass and a smooth detailed unit on top. 

In reality, the 3000 HV “system” can drive any speaker with ease. While the stereo amp itself is incredible, I didn’t realize just how much of a benefit the optional PS 3000 HV power supply added to the level of control and tone to the A 3000 HV amplifier. And for people who want to go even further, the stack can be set to mono configuration so that you have one A 3000 HV and one PS 3000 HV per speaker that puts out 800wpc at 4ohms with a total capacitance of over 1/2 Farad. I’m sure there are others, but the only amps I know have more capacitance are Gryphon.
