DECWARE tube amp- Reciews? Experience?

PlanetHiFi did a review a few issues back. I would check it out. I only live about 45 miles from Peoria, where DecWare is based. I had Steve rebuild some woofers on an old pair of speakers. While I was there, I listened to his amplifier and was quite surprised by its three dimensional sound.

I actually auditioned a Zen Triode Amp some months ago. It's quite dimensional, but you reallu need efficient speakers with high sensitivity, this thing only puts out 5 watts. Thus, there was severe clipping in my system with this little baby. So, I sent it back, preffering the sound of my trusty NAD 3020 integrated. In fact, I still haven't found anything reasonably priced to replace it with. Hope this helps.

I purchased a Zen SE84B from Steve Deckert and I couldn't be more thrilled. I am stunned with what I hear: an amazing 3D soundstage and a musical presentation I've never experienced before. I find myself listening at much lower volume levels, because I'm hearing the detail now that I used to have to increase volume with my SS gear to hear. In short: Steve Deckert's amps are worth every penny and his 30-day money-back gurantee make it a no-brainer. Here's the caveat: I did have to look for more efficient speakers, however. My 88dB efficient N.E.A.R. 40Me's were too much for the amp so, I switched to some 90dB monitors. I hardly listen to my SS amp anymore. Also I've been experimenting with single drivers in modified old cabinets and a variety of super-efficient Eminence drivers designed for PA applications. I took my amp to a local hi-fi store and auditioned some used Klipsch KSP-400's which are 95dB efficient. Those speakers needed about 1/3 the gain I needed with my monitors. The folks at the shop wanted to know who made this little jem... A friend of mine is having stunning results running his Zen amp on 20-year old Klipsch Heresey's.
