for a while. I used it with the Ortofon SUT and didn't find that combo was overly bright. A Sonus Blue replaced it.
I couldn't drive them with a 70 wpc Harmon-Kardon receiver.
The biggest issue was its nasty reactive load. The shop I worked for eventually picked up the line. The rep recommended using a Dunlap-Clarke amp with them. Bit of trivia here - the rep was Dan D'Agostino!
Then Nelson Pass released the 800A which was a great match for them. In fact, they were specifically designed to drive D-Ws. Pass used to demo his amps with double Daytons!
I later bought a Stasis 3 to drive Acoustats. Still have the amp 31 years later.
