Dared Tube preamp/amp??

I just now learned about Dared tube equipment. The price definately seems right, but I know nothing about them. Has anyone used these? If I get the SET tube amp to go with the preamp, what speakers are good to use? Will they run Wharfedale Diamond 8.3? I am looking for a relatively low budget system, but with good sound quality. Also considering Jolida integrated amps (to give you an idea of what I'm looking at).

Thanks

I bought the SL-2000A tube preamp.
I paid $330 shipped (New)
I added some good NOS 12AT7's and a NOS rectifier tube.
This preamp replaced a well regarded (Stereophile Class B) $1500 tube preamp.No contest!

I tried a dared vp16 and am very impressed with it after replacing the chinese tubes with nos red base/ jj telsas. I belive that there is nothing beter for under 400$. Try one, dont like it sell it.I doubt youll be dissapointed. There is one on E-bay with 3 sets of very desireable tubes now, and going very cheap.

The VP300B with upgraded tubes, capacitors, diodes, and resistors, as well as silver wiring and the volume/preamp section bypassed bested my prior Audio Note Conqueror amplifier.
