Buggtussel Speakers - heard 'em?

I went to a small stereo show in Michgian this past weekend and heard Buggtussels for the first time. Actually was first time at a show. I thought they sounded quite good (was the Amygdala) and the designer said they or the Pallidus would work quite well with 300B SETs like mine although room was using a Buggtussel 160 wt SS amp. Anyone had experience with them with SETs?

Gonna be a whole lot of Big Iron amps re-purposed into boat anchors in the next few years. Well, perhaps.

Gmood1,

Yep that is what I heard, cannot push them to hard or at louder volumes but if you listen at reasonable levels and have easy speakers to drive then for $700 bucks you are in. They have an organic sound and nice soundstage but won't be the best amps at depth and individual notes.

Happy Listening and don't go by the reviews, ever!

Drubin - I thought maybe there was some brightness but the amp being used a big SS type with a silver faceplate, made by Buggtussel. However, I heard a couple records which sounded very good and no brightness at all. The speakers do use a metal dome tweeter and these can have some hardness if not addressed by designer. I think they may work quite well with any number of good tube amps but maybe not SETs.

Tom, where was this show in MI? I am from MI. I have heard the Amygdala's, I thought they were a 'fun' speaker if you wanted to play rock but didn't have the refinement of the N803's I chose, or others. E-mail if you want more info.
