Job amps: Suck?


Guys I’ve noticed that besides the breathless reviews from 6moons, everyone reviewing these amps are using them with very low-end / entry-level systems. Do these amps actually stand up to high end gear?

Which report(s) did you read led you to believe they lack in body and color? 
I was in the market for a power amp back then and considered Bryston 3B^3 and Odyssey Stratos. Then I came across the Job 225 "hype" at audioshark.org, and I believe I combed the entire web for info and did not find a negative review. Here are several Job 225 reviews...

...and more in the hifi press and forums in Chinese, Japanese, Dutch and German to name a few.

I bought it without sight and was ready to relegate to my home office to get the Bryston if it does not live up to the hype. So far it has been great, especially with the Job Pre2 control amp. 

I see a similar trend now with the  Kinki Studio EX-M1 Integrated amp....a little known manufacturer with a great amp and word gets out through word-of-mouth. (though Job are made by Goldmund)
