Any experience of Valvet Audio E2se amplifier?


Hello,
Has anyone auditioned that amplifier? It is a SE, 12w solid state design.
I read some very good reviews, but I trust more the opinions of the independent audiophiles in the forum, before I buy it.
Thank you

Side note - we have the same amps (SIT3, XA25, F7) ! I'm debating swapping the F7 for the Valvet hence the question.

I really like the F7 so hesitant to let it go but curiosity is starting to get to me 
Interesting - keep us posted ! 

I figured they were quite similar but was under the impression that the e2se overall would be a tad ahead when it came to being detailed and powerful, yet sweet. 
I'm running 89db speakers in a small room sat about 7-8ft away from the speakers. The F7 is perfectly fine but I think I'll be pushing it with the Valvet @ 12w. 

I do listen at low levels, probably mid 70s. 

Eventually I will be upgrading to horns when funds permit so I'm sort of getting gear for the long run (at least that's what i tell myself ;) )
