I owned an 8008BB for about a year. It was very powerful, with authoritative, deep bass, very crisp (somewhat bright, perhaps) highs, and decent mids for a SS amp. Threw a huge soundstage with good images. The amp seemed indestructible, built like it would run forever. I once accidentally shorted the two poles on one channel with a stray strand of speaker wire. It played for about an hour but finally shut down due to overheating. I thought I had ruined it, but the amp started right up again after cooling down, with no apparent damage. A very well made product, and an excellent value, but not the very best sounding SS amp. I would say it is a good move up from Adcom, Parasound and similar entry level amps.
