I owned this little integrated for a period of time. Excellent bang for the buck, but more importantly it was very good sounding. Nice mids, reasonably extended highs, never bright or fatiguing, bass was quick and tight. Of course you need speakers that are efficient, I generally used Tekton 4.5 or Lore, 93db and 98db respectively, 8 Ohm load.
To get the best out of this unit get 7189 tubes or Amperex EL 84s which in my system were the two best. You also need to swap out the EH 12Ax7s for something like the Psvane. Read Jeff Day's review of EL 84s and 12Ax7s in his review of Almarro in 6 Moons. His points really apply to both amps (I also owned the Almarro).
