CJ Premier Triode?

Anyone familar with the XS (triode) versions of the older CJ amps. I am currently an 11a owner and I like what I read regarding triode amp virtues. I was thinking of picking up the 12XS monoblocks. I don't see any reviews on the XS amps. Is the power really less than half of the pentode versions? Also am I better off looking at triode ready amps like some Cary, or VTL? My speakers are Audio Physic Virgo II. Thanks.

Any amp with a "triode" switch or configuration option will have less power than the tetrode or pentode version. Usually half the power is routine.
I like the option of switching between the modes. It gives you a chance to easily compare the two.

HP (from the Absolute Sound) really loved the XS versions of the Premier series.
