I'd definitely agree with the PTA review. I purchased one to replace a dead 30-year-old Sony integrated, and is driving a pair of Dali Helicon 400's.
The sound is much more clear than the Sony, but the music is not at all sterile after more break-in from the factory. The frequency extension is great, as are the dynamics, both macro and micro. It's pleasant and fun to listen to with the Dali's. Yes, it doesn't have the refinement of an uber-amp, nor the liquid cozy-ness of a tube SET, but I can't imagine much better for a SS amp at such a reasonable price.
I haven't yet tried it with the Hornings. I plan to this coming week.
