Job amps: Suck?


Guys I’ve noticed that besides the breathless reviews from 6moons, everyone reviewing these amps are using them with very low-end / entry-level systems. Do these amps actually stand up to high end gear?

Not sure you could call Srajen's collection of gear entry level.  Nor any of the other reviewers.  Oh and I have actually owned one and it is a quality amp with a target market that if paired with the "right" speakers is hard to beat for many times it's price.  
 Why would a $1700 internet direct amp compare to a five figure one. Compare it’s big brothers to those. Like the others have implied you’re just stirring up crap as you obviously don’t have anything else to do. The Job amps are designed, built and sold to a price and purpose while their Goldmund siblings are not. 
If your speakers are a difficult load the Job amps may have a problem if not they will work fine.  The biggest differences between them and their Goldmund branded conterparts, other than casework, is in the power supplies and the ability to deal with speakers like Wilson, ML, Raidho, etc.  I have a friend that has had the Job Integrated since it first came out as his "back-up" and it has worked fine with Revel Studio II's, SF Strad's and big JBL's and though those speakers are up there in price they are not difficult loads.  If you're looking in the "big dollar" category also look at Audia Flight and Trilogy. 
I don't think a lot of us have forgotten the stink a handful of you tried to stir up about the amp on the Aussie forum.  How many of you actually saw or listened to one. Or was it just self protection due to it's price compared to the domestic competition.
