Whats the deal with these antique sound labs av-8s

I've just heard about these antique sound labs av-8 monoblock amps, and apparently they sound fantastic. Would a pair of these+a good preamp sound good? What kind of pre-amp would go well with these amps? I Know they only push 8 watts each, but supposedly these 16watters combined can push nicely. Thanks for any info on these bad boys, I can't seem to find any info!

Tunes - I can see why you had such trouble spitting that out, it's bad news! I heard somewhere that the Wave 8 was produced as a loss-leader to get people interested in their brand. From their increased profile (or is it my increased awareness of them?), perhaps that was successful. I know they've made quite a splash recently with the over-the-top Hurricaine monos.

I believe we've also met on a Wave 8 thread before... yup, just checked. Did you pick up a second pair in the end?

I have seven in a 7.1 HT system with Soliloquy speakers. They sound great.
