Nice review DannyB. You beat me to it but I'll post a bit more once I have more time on my Cary Xciter.
I have the Xciter integrated coupled to my 91dB 6 0hm nom. Tannoys and it sounds wonderfully liquid with excellent 3 dimensional soundstage.... and so smooth yet very transparent. It doesn't offer the last word in wall shaking deep bass and impact but what do you expect for ~5wpc into "regular" speakers? Otherwise it's an incredible sounding vacuum tube integrated. I haven't tried the headphone section with mine but I'm not much of a headphone listener.
I wish I had a couple good subwoofers to take advantage of the Xciter's dual L/R sub outputs.
For my next trick, I'll try popping in a quad of inexpensive EL34's!
