Acuhorn 125 with Leben 15w amp

The specs line up so looking at this for second system (other room is croft / atc P1/ Harbeth 30.1) not looking for the same sound so interested in horn which will also do some movie duty. Other possibility in Klipsch heresy III..... anyone tried the acuhorn as read the few reviews but like hearing from real people .... ta rich

  The Leben is a beautiful sounding piece.
This to me contradicts what I see in bench tests, I wouldn't let an amp out that looked like this on final production tests. 
High frequency accentuation that starts at around 6khz and climbs to 45khz, which is then replicated in the square wave shots as severe ringing. All this points to me like a output transformer that isn't very well designed for stability.
Not that I've heard one but are you sure this amp doesn't sound a little HF accentuated?
