Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great???


The new Jadis JA30 Mk2 is now on my radar. Does anyone here have any experience with this amp...thoughts?

Would seem to be in the sweet spot of the Jadis line.

Having stayed with my JA30 MKII for 3 weeks time, I decided to let them go! Don't get me wrong! These little babies was so good that I would like to go straight to their JA80! Other than the extra power of 80 processes, do you all think they have merits over the 30's? Are they share the same kind of sonic characters?
Thanks! 
Hi all, I am the new owner of the Jadis JA30 MKII. May I know about how long it needs to be burnt in to achieve its full potential? Newly fresh out from the box which was already pleased me so much for its precise & detail sound! I do believe it need to undergo a long journey before it becomes stable, isn't it?

So if wonder if the SE300B will sound as great if power/speaker sensitivity wasn't be a concern in this regard. Very interest to try the 300B as well for full range high sensitivity speaker. 
Thanks all for your comments! I have just found how good the JA30 sounds, so arouse me of much interest to get their 300B amp as well. But honestly it seems can't bring enough power for my Sony AR1 speaker which was also newly bought! Anyway I will run them well for the next couple of months to see how changes they will be! 
I have just swift the original driver tube to a pair of Mullard NOS. I can't believe the improvement that it has brought!!
I will change the AX7 to Telefunken as well today to see how they make another miracle :-) 
Moreover how to compare a JA30 with its SE300B? If output driving power wasn't be a concern?! I have much interest to get a pair of it as well?How would you all thoughts about its performance? Though it wasn't a single 300B tube amp, it still caught my attention for a push pull  single ended type of amp which just deliver a 10W only power. It should have plenty of driving power?! Is it? Thanks!

As an standard audiophile I owned numerous equipment, Sony & Jadis are just bought recently! My Sony was intended to be driven by my now owned Esoteric Grandioso M1 mono actually. And I paired them with great success! But now I just want to try the JA30, trying how it would go with my Sony.The result, is obviously not a good matching couple, for sure. My newly bought JA30 was supposed to drive a pair of smaller bookshelf, targeting at Franco Serblin Accordo or ATD admonitor premiere, which I am still looking for the right one...
I would believe the JA80 MKII should be able to cover a wider range of speakers choice. 
I have finally ordered the JA80MKII, try to evaluate the differences between 30 ,other than the power itself! Since i was told the 80 is another legend comparing with the 30. It may takes some more months to have my 80 arrived. Anyway, the JA30MKII absolutely has enough power for my Sony's after my Sony has been running in for a few more while! Of course  i believe larger power will be better for my main speaker. 
At the very beginning I said that my JA30 hasn't got enough power for my Sony. I believed it was due to my newly Sony hasn't been running in yet. But having a longer burning in from my Esoteric monoblock. The drive units goes much smoother than before! Plugging in my Jadis again seems working much much better! Then  I would have a conclusion of matching them together isn't be a problem at all. They match well enough for sure now. I would say, enough, but more power, much better honestly for my Sony however! Switching to JA80, which I believe, would extend the potential of Sony, giving more punch & power than the 30. So I would curious to try out how far my Sony can go with the JA80!
Just update the status! My JA80 is coming soon! Now trying the new Diapason from Jadis which sounds as great paring with most mid to high sensiti ity speakers! 
However, the Diapason is worth every penny too! It has the sweet sounding character of 6L6 tube and it really has those magic from Jadis! It hasn't got the deep soundstage or details as the JA80 for sure but it really worth for only just one fifth of the price of JA80!
Fantastic! Never believe the JA80 can be so dynamic! I am not sure how it compares with the former KT88 model which i haven't seriously auditioned before going to the new MKII.  Sound opens up a lot after few months of burning in! I am currently using it in biwiring to drive my Dali Epicon 2 with great satisfaction! Musical, Engaging & organic sounding that drove us to the music. Plenty of power you wouldn't worry about. Regret to own them so late! Cheers!
