Having owned the Defy 7mk4 and my next amp was the CJPrem.5---Well the Jadis was harsh in comparison.
Ok, I know nothing of the 12. It's just my opinion that the Jadis is and easy target; much like the lower versions from Audio Research. I also prefer the sound of EL34's vs. 6550's ---Then factor user biasing on the CJ's--Sure not everybody may share my tastes;I expect that.BTW I now have the big-dog 8's in XS form.(EL34's)
