Prior to bi-amping, I was using the 6 watts Trends TA10.1 full range on my horns. Sounded slightly thin without preamp, but with a good preamp in front sounded amazing.
Now of course I'm multi-amping so there's a preamp, an active crossover, then the chip amps - the nice thing about the Trends amp (the British Amptastic has that too) is you can easily disconnect the volume pot using switch inside on the PCB, and doing that gives you even more transparency when used as a power amp.You can go crazy replacing every passive part with something much better, that's what has been done with my Trends, everything down to the resistors and connectors has been upgraded, even the cable that goes from the PCB to the speaker terminals. Its sounds absolutely amazing.
On the Breeze audio amp, I swapped the NE5532 chip that's the "preamp" section with an OPA2132 and the difference was extremely easy to hear, even when used in the limited 50 to 500 range.
