Alright Marco,

good to see you finally got your second TA-N, I'm after a second myself now.

When I had two TA-N's, I had them both running in BTL for

LF 200W, RF 200W, LS 200w, RS 200w and Centre had the two remaining 140w bi amped. It sounded utterly incredible. I have changed now to a Yamaha DSP-Z9 and it is nowhere near as bone crunching or musical as two Sony TA-N9000ES' in BTL mode. I'll be selling my Z9 soon and buying another TA-N to run a 7.1 system. One TA-N run in BTL for the main L/R the rest as normal apart from the centre which will have two 140w channels bi-amped. Maybe it's better to try and hunt down a TA-P9000ES. Not sure yet.

Have you checked out the DVP-S9000ES dvd player? I bought one last year, it's an incredible peice of kit. I also have the DVP-NS999ES (the player that replaced the 9000ES) and the 9000 makes it look like it's made out of paper. The S9000ES is one if the best made dvd players ever...bar none. 14 kilos of massive copper plated chassis, huge dual R-core transformers (the best type there is) with dual linear power supplies, no cheap switch modes anywhere inside it. It also has the best audio output section ever given to a dvd player. All mounted on super high quality thick copper tracked glass epoxy pcb's. If you get the chance, get one.

The TA-E9000ES is the only part of the 9000ES series that has really had it's day.
