Integrated amp feasibility

[docbob52]

I have a need for a small integrated stereo  amp in a smaller chassis for a small room in my house.  Does any one else see a need for this?  Dan, what do you think about this?

I think the S.E.X. amp should be just the ticket.

What about a 12 volt battery powered amp?

 

[Natural Sound]

How much are you budgeting for this endeavor?

 

[PassionForSound]

I can vouch for the S.E.X.

Along the lines of NaturalSound's post, what are your exact needs and budget?

12V Amps

Sorry for not being clear, I was thinking 12v tube amp.

12V is barely enough for a solid state amp. (most car amps have a switching supply and a transformer to step up the voltage) 

On 12V, you might be able to get a few tenths of a Watt at 30% distortion. That's not something that motivates us too strongly.

Now, if you want a preamp, and have 24 volts (battery, right?) I think I can help out.

Yes, SEX of course...
