I think the Destiny sounds great. I bought one recently and have been very happy. It's only downside is it has limited power and if your speakers are a difficult load it might not be the best choice. I have a fair amount of trouble driving a set of Dynaudio Audience 42 speakers, so much so that I have begun to search for a replacement. I guess that tells you a lot about what I think about the sound of the Destiny though. If your speakers don't drop below 4 ohms and your room isn't huge I think you'd be good.
Nope regular sized bedroom. It I play the Destiny at a fairly high level for more than an hour or so it will shut down. I had no problem driving the Audience 42 with an Outlaw 2150, but when I got the Destiny I ran into this problem. It's not a huge deal but it does happen. If you read the Stereophile measurements on this amp it states that you must be careful in matching it to speakers that dip below 4 ohms. I'm hoping the Revel M20 will be a better match.
