late response here...I have heard this amp in a local place w/ kudo speakers/ neat speakers. Despite not being familiar w/ kudo and only moderately familiar w/ neat (i owned the mystiques II), i would STILL have to agree with Ryder's enthusiastic post. It seemed to me that, regardless of knowing the speakers (and regardless of which of the two pairs was being used), the sound was gorgeous. I won't go on and on with the usual audiophile jargon to describe its sound, but I would urge anyone looking for an excellent integrated to give the LFD a try.
