Might be great (in spite of the cost); might be meh. Depends ultimately on those speakers. Has anyone heard the field coil phono cartridge? Dave?
I once had the experience of hearing the AN Kegon and the Ongaku in the same day, same room, same system, driving AN speakers. My impression was that both amplifiers sounded very good, but they sounded quite obviously different from each other. That bothered me.

What bothers you about that?
It only shows that achieving 'Musical Ecstasy' (for everybody) is not exact science and that its more like making Wine. Which is of course why we're all in sill into this 'hobby'.
If it would be exact science, we all would've ended this hobby in 1982 when Sony introduced the 'perfect sound forever' CD-Player...

If the amps were from 2 different companies then sounding different would not bother me. But from the same company they should be voiced similarly, especially at the prices of these amps. Otherwise the designer either wasn't good enough to make them sound similarly or hasn't decided what voicing is closest to accurate reproduction.
