Not a fan....dry, grainy and analytical to my ears.  Build quality feels suspect.  I used to own one years ago.  But yes, in terms of features for the price I can see why it's attractive to many. 
Point to Point vs Circuit Board

Speakers for triode tube amps
The question is what "will get the job done" even means.  Yes, it will make sound but it was so spectacularly uninformed and shows a real lack of experience witnessing amp/speaker synergies that I just bit my tongue at the time he posted that comm...
