I just heard these yesterday at stereo exchange - wow! I found it extremely impressive listening to the oscar Peterson quartet. What stood out to me was that all the details were there but they didn't distract from the overall balanced, natural sound. I found the soundstage on triode mode outstanding, with clear separation and depth, but again, not so much that it calls attention to itself. To me, however good a value these are compared to more expensive separates, it is still expensive and out of my range, but definitely on my wish list.
