I have had the Zeus for about 5 months now. It has all the power one would need and offers you the flexibility between triode and ultra linear (which I tend to prefer in most cases)as well.
The sound is less "tubey" than you may imagine, given the grip that the amp provides.
I can only provide comparisons. The top is certainly less grainy than my Plinius amps, the midrange excellent - and the bass really is so dependent on your speakers and the room as for me to offer any comment would be useless.
I use KT88s - am not sure what they come with standard and also have changed the input tubes.
I use an Audio Aero CD player running directly into them.
