...I know Al Sekala (RIP) loved them driving his Magnepans at 500w/ch.But I wonder if anyone else has had experience with them.
If so what speakers did you use?

I heard them at a show ( wrong place) pushing their version of the of the Carver Amazing speaker
have to admit they sounded good.
I used them for a while with Maggie 3.6's. I am a tube guy but I thought the Raptors were the best sounding ss amps I ever heard. Replaced them with Berning Zh-270 amps. I would highly recommend the Gilmore amps

...other than Maggies.
I heard them on Al's Maggies but I have Thiel 7.2s.
Sounded great with my Infinity RSIIb speakers. Planar mids and tweeters, cone woofers in sealed cabinets.
mkuller should make sure he can drive them properly, though. I think their input impedance is pretty low, if I recall correctly. Passive systems would be hard-pressed, I suspect.
But a very fine amp, no doubt.
...gain switch.
And a 30 day trial period.
single ended and 16k balanced, per a discussion I had with Mark Gilmore a while back. I owned a pair for years and was very happy with them driving my Infinity RSIIB speakers. I sold them after I built my 200wpc SET monos. The Gilmores are excellent sounding amps, but no match for a monster DHT tube amp!**Except on hot summer days when the tube amps can heat the room quite a bit, even with AC...

And almost requires a SS preamp for optimal results.
