I mentioned that the manufacturer had just released the 's' version, which has all valve rectification, rather than solid state and he didn't know about it. He went and visited the manufacturer's site, loved the new look and right there and then offered to sell me his pair, so he could fund buying the new 's' units. Talk about luck. Got them for a good price, and the bonus is that the warranty is transferable.
I've been pretty happy with the new amps, they have a wonderful sound, although I think they're struggling running my Sonus Faber speakers (89db, 6 ohm load).
