Tube Audio Design TAD-1000 100 watt Mono Blocks


Paul at BizzzyBee, who sells the wonderful Cayin TA-30, has
an interesting deal on a new pair of 100 watt tube monoblocks. Has anyone heard the new TAD-1000 Mono's ?
Any idea how they compare to ASL Hurricane, or ARC
VS110 ? Looks like TAD is a Cayin design. Everything Cayin makes gets great reviews. Id like to buy the Totem Forest's but I dont know if 100 watts per channel will be adequate. Any owners of the TAD-1000 have any impressions they want to share ? Thanks

Actually, I am running two Cayin TA 30's and a TAD 150 signature pre amp. I have the set up bi-wired and power corded with Signal Cable exclusively. I am very happy with the sound. I like that I can adjust the bass separately. A little different then using the two focus controls on the two TA 30's.
I tried the anticables, but was not impressed. I will let my Signals burn in a bit more, and play around with the anticables again on some rainy Saturday, or quiet evening when the wife is visiting family!
Of course, now that I put this together, Paul has the $2400 monoblock system. I have only $2100 into the equipment, not counting the cables. (Buying used helps!) Who knows, at some point I may just sell off my system in pieces, and apply the money to the monoblocks.
I am running Meadowlark Blue Heron 2 speakers.
Cheers!
