Anyone evaluate the Xindak ?


I was wondering if anyone had evaluated and listened to any of the Xindak integrated amps, particularly the 6900SE ?What impression did it leave you and what were the other associated components used? I'm curious how it would sonically compare to other hybrid-type integrateds in the market.

I was very impressed by the heft and the sound.

As a point of reference I have owned:
Jeff Rowland Concentra
Electrocompaniet ECI4
Pathos Twin Towers (current reference)
Bel Canto eVo2i
BEL 1001 mk. IV
Counterpoint . . . the list goes on.

Muse Model Nine Signature (seriously undervalued piece!)
Talon Raven speakers (can't say enough good about these)
Great cables, conditioners and assorted tweaks.

The sound of the Xindak is detailed, rich and powerful. Nothing to criticize with the possible exception of a slight tilt up in the bass region (in my room, system, etc.)

The qualtity was, however, lacking and gave me serious concerns about the long term viability of the unit. This was a 2 week old demo from a local dealer I was loaned. One tube appeared out although both channels played(?); the volume balance at low levels was very imprecise and a couple of other nits.
