Is all the hype warranted

I have had my 20 W Decware Torii Jr v2 with copper bypass upgrade for 1 year.  It was a 25 month wait but I feel well worth it.  It replaced a 20 W Raven Blackhawk which is now in my second system.  Both amps sound great with the right tube combination and speaker pairing.  My Raven drives Fritz 88db monitors with ease and the Decware Torii Jr. drives 89db Ohm Walsh Tall 2000’s easily as well.  The Torii Jr sounded better in all ways  than the Raven but not significantly.  When I added my tube preamp with gain controls the Torri Jr. came alive. Better dynamics, deep bass and midrange really stood out as better.  For me this is an amp that does everything well.  I will live with the Torii Jr. for a long time with a smile. Enjoy your journey!

Note: Check out the Decware website and read all the descriptions/test results on the Toriii Jr’s build.  I have not owned or heard a true SET amp but Steve Decker states the Torii Jr. has similar qualities in sound quality even though it’s a push/pull.

If you look at the amps date made the majority of them are older models that have been redesigned.  Current models sell at a premium price with several that have been  listed over original purchase price due to the wait time.  With the significant increase in Decware’s sales since 2021 I would expect more used amps on the market…New and old.  Audio addicts can’t help but buy the next better component.  
I enjoy my Decware Torii Jr v2 amp very much in my modest system. I feel they are very well priced for what they deliver.  Are there better amps absolutely but they will cost you considerably more.
