I use them on my Infinity RSIIb speakers, which have planar mids and tweeters with PP cone woofers. They do a great job in delivering controlled, tight bass without being strident on the high notes. Smooth, crystal clear midrange as well.I originally auditioned the Gilmore Raven stereo amp on a pair of Zu Druids (since replaced by the vintage Infinities), versus NuForce Ref 9 V2 SE and Atmasphere S30. While the S30s had slightly more midrange bloom, the Raven was solid and tuneful throughout the musical spectrum. NuForce was a distant third, hard and strident sounding in my system.
When I moved to the VERY different Infinity speakers, the Raven didn't miss a beat - I upgraded to the monoblock Raptors and was rewarded with even more powerful bass without losing anything in the rest of the spectrum. I don't envision ever selling them.

If you audition them, try both gain settings (switch on back). I found the lower setting sounded better with my Supratek preamp while the higher setting sounded better with my DIY 26 preamp.
Thanks for the information. My Shindo preamp is very hugh gain so the low gain position should work. Forgot to mention that I took the plunge and ordered a pair. In 60 years it will be only the 3rd solid state amp I have ever owned.
