I also found that, unlike the LS3/5A, this speaker is not very tube friendly due to low impedance in the low mid-range. Whereas the original LS3/5A and some others (Stirling, for example) work wonderfully well with 300B amps, this one didn't...even on the 4 Ohm taps.
Silly me, i should have read the measurements section in the Stereophile review. With a 70W SS integrated, it sounded very nice, but that is more power than I care to have lying around the house.
