Museatex str55's amps worth exploring?


I am looking for a used power amp and have heard the Ed Meitner designs are worth searching for. Anyone with knowledge of this product? Would greatly appreciate feedback. Thanks

The Meitner products are really very good. They have a very full, rich tonal quality that many solid state amps lack, and terrific dynamics and ability to drive virtually all speakers. The only thing I'd point out is that the Meitner amps seem a little rolled off at the top frequencies compared to other designs--they probably are flat up there, but they seem to lack some of the high-frequency "air" or transparency of other designs. Once you get used to it, you realize that all the detail is still there, but the tonal balance may still seem a little dark. This actually may be a lack of glare in the 1-5khz range, although I really can't explain what it is, but you'll notice it if you listen to a Meitner amp.
