Anyone using the Transistor Research LabsM 225's


On the grapevine I have heard that these amps are good enough to be the end of the line. Given their reasonable cost - that would be great news. Any comments?

Clio09, you are posting information sent to me this afternoon in a private
email from Mr. Weitzel. Since I did not send this to you, then Mr. Weitzel
copied you on his communication with me. This is unethical and
unprofessional.

Gentlemen, after Bobheinatz's reasonable suggestion earlier that I audition
the TRL amps, I decided to act on his recommendation, and I made a good
faith offer to purchase a pair of TRL M-225 amplifiers so I could hear them in
my system and compare them with the Pass Labs XA-60.5.

My only request was for a return privilege. I simply cannot reconcile
purchasing audio equipment without first hearing it in my system
with my other gear to make certain it's compatible and produces a result
worth replacing my other amplifiers and taking a loss on the re-sale.

The politics here is silly, guys. It's a shame we can't move on.
I'm glad this thread picked up and doesn't turn into a circus act.

I'd like trying a pair soon after my new job picks up (last week sucked with the pre-holiday lay-off bonus)

Nice hearing from everyone, it's a moral boost.
Tvad, you felt it was important to post the first paragraph. What was wrong with the second paragraph? You had nothing to lose by posting it. After all it was you who said in an earlier post that you understood that TRL amps did not increase power into more difficult loads.

Do the M-225 double power as impedance is halved?
My understanding is they do not.

Paul Weitzel answered your question and you omitted the answer. You owed it to the readers of this thread to post the entire response from Paul Weitzel.

I don't blame you for not wanting to try something before you buy. However, as you said let's move on. Now go find a APL post to play on would you. No more whining about your request being rejected by TRL. You and I both know the history here. Not to mention, you have no direct experience with TRL equipment and can't contribute anything meaningful to this thread in that regard.
Clio09, it was unethical for Mr. Weitzel to copy you on personal email
between him and myself, and it was unethical for you to post it on this
thread. Anyone reading this knows this is true.

Perhaps the most valuable thing that could be offered by anyone would be a
comparison between different amplifiers, and I was looking forward to doing
that and reporting back. You sabotaged my attempt to hear the amps out of
sour grapes, it seems.

It saddens me to realize this, because we had developed some productive
communication over the past year about other products and brands.

IMO, exposing behind the scenes nonsense like this as it relates to a company
being discussed is as valuable as any product commentary, and as something
new develops I will add to the comments.
