Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp?


He raved about the Hurricane in the latest TAS.
Anyone with long term experience care to comment?

There is a triode switch on ALL the new ASL Hurricanes we have in stock. Biasing is easy and new Valve Art KT 88 seem to be very reliable.
I think Cwlondon is on to something - HP must own a part of all the companies that receive rave reviews. I just don't understand why he picks stock in such small companies rather than some of the very few Hi-End companies with substantial value like Krell ,Levinson, Wilson or Martin Logan. As ASL dealers last time we checked with our Antique Sound Lab distributor he was unaware of this connection. We heard the Hurricane monos at CES and promptly ordered 6 pairs-and and we have 3 pair of Hurricanes and two pair of ASL Tulip's arriving next week.The Hurricanes are a world class bargain.
Hurricanes are rated at 100 WPC in Triode and 200 WPC in Ultra Linear. They appear to be more powerful than the conservative ratings.
