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

Can a 12wpc amp handle the dynamic swings, driving a pair of 86db sensitive speakers ? I am asking, because owning a pair of 104 db sensitive horns, and sometimes using a hand built,1 wpc class A amp ( chassis and transformers of an old HK Citation 12 ), I can easily clip it. Admittedly, I hit peaks, at and beyond 100 db, based on a few db meters, and, I never feel it is too loud. The explosion, on Amused to Death, by Roger Waters, is an excellent example, of what I am talking about. How low, do some of you listen ? Low, is not realistic, imo. Not trying to be the devils advocate here. I am not a head banger. I would love to try the Valvet, or, an SIT3 / F7....just say'in. Enjoy !, and be well.
