mistic,

Do you mean the DX 667V? It has a single 2SC2290 driving 4 2SC2879's. It is claimed it can do nearly 800 watts. To my knowledge Texas Star doesn't make a model 800.

mistic :Texas Star makes a 800 TX,a 1200TX , and a 1600TX.Don't have any idea what pills are used in them.One of my long time friends has a 800.Drives it with a Galaxy 77.Does about 1000 on the Dosy.

I agree fellas, 100%. Some dealers make outrageous claims regarding this, and other equipment. Always check out the specs on the transistors in an amplifier you plan on buying, not by what's printed on the face or what's listed on someone's website.

There are two Texas Star TX 800 in use in this county.Both run dual cooling fans and remote switches.Very loud and very powerful.Don't know when they were made ,just know that they exist.

Good grief guys. TX 800 is the same thing as a LA 900. I thought you guys knew something about this business. 100 watts out of 2879. Interesting. I'm sure when electricity was first invented, this was probably true. However, since this time, we have what is called transformers. For the little ones there in the back, a transfomer does exactly what it says. It transforms. A 2SC2879 is rated for 100 watts, but at 12 volts. Now if you test the voltage coming out of the transformer, it is much higher. Hense, the exra power.
