Long term Hovland amp owners, are you still happy?

Have been running the tube HP200 pre/ss Radia pow for 7 years now, always been happy with the combination, despite the possible chances to move away from over the intervening years.
So, what are the experiences of other Hov afficionados who've kept the faith?
I'm sure we were all devastated when the company went under, Bob Hovland seemed such a great guy, and the co. one of the most honest ones re pricing/quality in the industry.

So I start a thread to celebrate the memory of Hovland, and the amps' place in relationship to the market in alternative choices, but so little interest.
Am I the only owner out there, surely not?
So let's hear from current Hov-philes, esp. if you're sticking with your equipment in the face of newer stuff out there.

Great Pierre, I remain a true fan after 7 years. However I am considering a move to Audion SET 845 or Atma Sphere/Dave Berning OTL. But they will have to show esp. the Radia a clean pair of heels for me to consider abandoning the Hovs.
