Thanks!

Depende sa tripath chip.  Kapag Dayton DTA 100a vs. Topping TP22 wherein both use TK2050, sa DTA 100a ako kung hanap ko dynamics, slam.  Topping TP22 on the other hand is ideal for jazz, vocals due to its tamed bass.  Akala lang kasi ng iba pare pareho tunog ng T Amp.  Depende sa Tripath chip na gamit yan at kung panu design ng circuit.  Mahirap kasi generalize na manipis ang bass or kulang so low frequency ang T Amp kung di pa naman nasubukan ibang tripath chip.  Anway,ang problema lang sa Dayton DTA 100A, di siya kasing tibay ng Topping brand.  Ang Topping kasi maganda ang protection circuit niya.  Kapag nagkamali ka ng gamit sa amp like for example di mo alam clipping na pala o hirap na siya, ang topping mag automatic shut off.  Ang Dayton DTA 100A mag shut off forever. 

Kaya dapat pag nag tripath ka, wag ka lalayo masyado sa wattage na kaya niya.  Kasi kapag nabitin ka sa bass ang gagawin mo ilalakas mo ang volume hanggang sa di mo namamalayan nag over heat na pala ang tripath chip mo.  Based on experience yan bro.

gurus, just want to asked some few question about the T-amps.

I have a pioneer VSX 521 AVR,  and a set of wharf diamond 9.5 FS, 9cs and 9SR for 5.0 set up (no sub yet)
I haven't hooked the center and surrounds yet sicne I dont have the sub for it pa.

I'm mostly maximizing the stereo listening for the meantime.

now for my question and to cut the crap.

- are these T-amps possible to be connected to my AVR?
- I was planning to get one for my stereo listening sana.
or is the power of my pioneer vsx 521 already enough for the wharf 9.5?
- if I connect this to my AVR will the avr work as a pre amp and T-amps as main? will the wattage of the t-amps be added on top of the wattage of the pre-amp?
- and would there also be a big difference in terms of sound quality even without doing Bi-amping the wharfs?

I am now satisfied with how my set sounds, but I would like to discover if using a t-amp would squeeze some more juice to add some more sound quality to it.

sorry for the ignorance po about this things, hope someone could answer my queries and help me with this...

BTW, would this be the connection if ever?

   Pioneeer VSX 521-----CD out---T-amp ---wharfedale diamond 9.5
        l                               
 CD player IN


by the malaki po ba ang difference using the coax or digital connection compare to the RCA?
if I will use coax or digital from CD player to the AVR pag nag out ba sya going to a T-amp same digital signal din po ba?
