Anyone using the Transistor Research LabsM 225's

I have posted my system if any would like to see pictures of the Samson amps. They have opened up even more and sound remarkable.

In the photo of the Samson amps (should we assume these are the same as
M225?), I don't see any heat vents. Is this correct?

Do the amps run cool, warm or hot?

Bill,

Great looking system & room.

Tvad - the Samson is the same as the M225 and they run cool.

Tvad,

They are cool at all times. I keep them on 24/7 and even when run hard they stay cool to the touch.

They are now named Samson amps as Bob mentioned above.

I just finished a full review that should post soon.

Tvad,

They are cool at all times. I keep them on 24/7 and even when run hard they
stay cool to the touch.

Can anyone confirm the operation class of these amps (Class A, Class A/B or
Class D)?

The Samson (M225), and the D225 appear to have the earmarks of Class D
amps in that they run cool and have reasonably small unventilated
enclosures.

Ecruz mentions in his listing for a TRL D225: “...absolutely dead quiet, the
sound is effortless, neither warm nor cold, neither like tubes nor solid state,
just music".

This describes what I have heard in one or two Class D amps (particularly the
NuForce Ref9SE V2), and especially the description of lack of coloration
(neither warm nor cold) and sounding neither like tubes nor solid state.
