Highlights
Quality
The speakers i use with the amp is the tekton lore two-way floor-standers which are 98 db efficient.
I listen only to classical music, midrange lusciousness and detail in the highs is essential to me.
You need efficient speakers, >90db, and a small to medium room, since the amp only puts out about 10 watts per channel.
The mullards are warmer, and the tung sols have a bit more oomph than the originals.
Price
If you think about it, i have a great little tube amp, exquisite speakers, and a really good cd player for about $1000!
For the money this little tube amp is a steal!
I am driving martin logan motion lx 16 's ( discontinued but still available for $237 each from amazon.
Shipping
The amp arrived with the incorrect power cord, but that was easily fixed via amazon.
Competitiveness
This is the identical unit to the gemtune bl-02, also available on amazon, also at $369.
