I normally plug my iPod into it, then it powers a small pair of Tangent Evo speakers - making longer stays in hotels for business purposes just a little bit more tolerable.
However, last Autumn I happened to be in Scotland and needed to pick up a pair of Mission 783 speakers one day, stay in the hotel overnight and then deliver them the next day. Being very large, its not possible to hide a pair of these in the car boot, so it was no good leaving them in the car overnight. Borrowing the hotel's large luggage trolley I transported them up to my room. So there was the Trends amp and the little Evos and this huge pair of 783s. Well, you can't let an opportunity like go by can you.....?

Not the most convenient hotel system of course, but just a bit of experimental fun. As for the TA-10.1, it's quite and achievement - would be ideal for a bedroom, study or kitchen system, or anywhere with limited space.
