I heard the amps and pre-amp while at Steve Hoffman's home in S.CA. I was auditioning his ESP Bodhran SE speakers (a pair of which I eventually bought and still own)The amps and pre amp sounded fantastic in this sytem and it is probably a fairly good testimonial that Steve uses them.
He was using a very basic digital front (sony sacd) end for the audition and as I am very familiar with the speakers now I can say that the CF gear was contributing consideraly to the excellent sound I heard from a variety of recordings.
They are wonderful to look at as well with a very high standard of fit and finish.
I bet they would sound great with a wide variety of speakers as long as the speakers are up to the task.
