If it is thats pretty expensive!Looks like an NC122MP in a Teac box.

Dumping factor = 370 or higher, JEITA (20Hz to 20kHz, Output impedance: 22mΩ, 8Ω loaded)
Notice teac mis-spells damping factor in the most hilarious way.
I could find no outside reviews with testing data.
I noticed several typos in their literature. Not a confidence builder, which is sad, because I love this stuff.
To update on my last post - I received the XTZ Edge A2-300 and was extremely disappointed with it. I ended up getting a March Audio p252 and in my opinion this is the best amp I've ever had.
Doesn't ELAC have their own integrated amp based on Hypex stuff?Anyone has experience using an AP-505 to drive a pair ELAC Reference DBR62 at low/medium volumes (background music only in dining room) ?
Would be grateful to the ASR community, if anyone has tried this particular combo.
Thank you!
I’m sure they do, but that was not my question.Doesn't ELAC have their own integrated amp based on Hypex stuff?
Indeed. AP-701 is a different model, much larger footprint.Teac AP-701 = $3,800
That's pricey for a 125W amp... and I would need a pair because I use an active crossover.
They are pretty, and the AP-701 has a 12V trigger. My pair of AP-505 do not have a 12V trigger.

Thank you and great to hear.My ex wife has the AP-505. It is easy, reliable, has Hypex stuff in it, and thus should be able to drive any kind of load easily.
It gets into the "perceived value" aspect that is an intrinsic part of market economy. Anyone that thinks any product is priced as the simple sum of its components hasn't read market economy basics by Adam Smith in the 18th century.Teac AP-701 = $3,800

Her new hubby got B&W 804s a few years back, pretty good stuff.Thank you and great to hear.
Could you share what speakers the AP-505 is driving?
No problems at all.Indeed. AP-701 is a different model, much larger footprint.
What speakers is your AP-505 driving? Any issues to report?
I am looking for feedback from AP-505 owners who used them with “difficult to drive” speakers like the Reference DBR62. At low/modest volume.
OK, that’s helpful because B&W 804 shares similar characteristic of low impendance/high phase angle (around 100Hz) so therefore “difficult to drive”.Her new hubby got B&W 804s a few years back, pretty good stuff.
Thank you!No problems at all.
I have used them to drive a pair of:
KEF LS-50 meta
PBN Montana spx
sony ss-lac505ed
Focal ARIA 5 - home-made
home-made scan speak 6.5 in
Very old EMI
I usually use an active crossover around 100Hz and Behringer A800 to run a pair of subs.
