Performance wise they are excellent.
Price may not be competitive (imported, heavy weight gear with duty and a middle man) but workmanship and musicality have always been their strong suit and I suspect they are equal or better than the last time I auditioned them.
Like much of the USA heavy duty tube gear, maintenance and repairs are more frequent and expensive than state of the art transistor.
That could be a factor, especially this time of year and with USA economy being a bit sluggish.
