Any experience with the Nuforce Ref 8 mono amps?

I am curious about these amps and was wondering if anyone using them would report their experience. Thanks,

They give 100 watt RMS continuous power across all peaks and valleys.

This is because they are capable of delivering very high momentary peak power at very low distortion. In other words, they have considerably more headroom than a conventional 100Wpc amp could manage.

BAT VK5SE, Quad ESL57, NuForce Ref8B.
