Audire Audio Forte???

Anyone know anything about this amp? How does it compare to other upper end mid fi amps (Anthem, Bryston, etc)? Found one used and am considering it for my brother who has a modest ht setup powered by an Onkyo digital reciever with Paradigm speakers (don't know what model no.). Want something that will give him the next step for stereo playback. I recently added a Bryston 3b to my setup for the mains and experienced a great improvement and would like to do the same for him. Any suggestions.
Thanks
Steve
