Are you familiar with the Soro?

I too have heard recently that the Oto may have better sound than the Soro but I did need the extra watts as my speakers are 88db effecient. The Oto is reportedly cleaner with less grundge. I think the Soro will be so good I do not care at this point.
BTW Peter Q confirmed the slight hum is normal, so all systems go and my Soro is on the way as we 'speak'

Thank you very much for the info.
I have a Grado Sonata (4.5mv) and look forward to a glorious midrange sound and hopefully not too much bass which I had with my old set-up which was a Plinius SA100 MKIII and Quad 99 pre. I should have known I could not go back to SS :)
I wonder how I would like the Audio Note speakers compared to my JM Reynaud Trentes and JMR wire, which I love. I have a feeling any speaker that is high effeciency like AN (94db) would naturally have a nice dynamic quality that goes beyond a simple watts vs speaker rating equation. Dynamic range is something I think most stereos are sorely lacking. Maybe someday I will find out.
And of course I will be on the lookout for some quality tubes as the unit I am buying has older ones in it.
BTW $1200 is a steal for a newer Soro. I have never seen one that low and am happy to have bought the older (6L6) model for $1300.
All the best and I may email in the future for info regarding where you bought some tubes etc.
Phil

BTW guys, do any of you use something under your Soro to control resonences? All I have is Vibrapods and may be open to buying cones. Also I do have a VenHaus PC to use and hope it works.
thanks...

I just got my Soro SE about 3 hours ago and even though it has old tubes I can say this amp is something special. It is very neutral and rich at the same time and, (like the JMR Trentes) I am constantly reminded of real people in the room playing real instruments. If anything, I think it is a little soft at the frequency extremes and slightly full sounding but with really big images and soundstage and very 3-D in a holographic sense. Also it is powering my 88db Trentes with no problem at all.
I know I have only heard it for a few hours and I usually shake my head when I read other people's post when they just hooked something up (and it is like Jesus awakened from the grave) but I am one happy camper and I expect to stay that way.
