Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

I heard them at a local dealership. . .

unfortunately, the dealer was sort of new to low wattage stuff and had the speakers hooked up to the Joseph Audio flagship speaker. The amp did not have enough juice to play that speaker (meter spent way too much time at the top of the range) and so it sounded somewhat dynamically "polite" (no obviously heavy distortion/clippling). It sounded nice, but, I would like to hear it with something more efficient--which the dealer is supposedly getting. The high end also sounded a bit soft and rounded too.

This is a BIG amp and it looks quite nice. I did not get to see inside, and because of the covers, I could not determine how big are the output transformers.

I notice that the company is quite big into vintage Western Electric gear. If we are lucky, they will be able to reproduce some of the old Western speakers and the Jensen speakers that were made for Western.
