LTA - Has Anyone Had First Hand Experiance?

Linear Tube Audio is offering up a couple of interesting "Bundles" and I was giving some consideration to this one:

Wondering if anyone else out there has gone this route and if so, are you happy with the system?

LTA also offers this bundle but it's more money and only offers an amp and speakers:

Quick update - I replaced my Parasound DAC with the much-recommended MHDT Orchid.  Holy hell is it the best thing I ever did for my audio system.  Smoothed out the top end incisiveness that I was experiencing with the Z10 and added back the warmth I was missing as well.  Everything sounds so much more analog and enjoyable with the combination.  

The sense of "realness" and palpability got ratcheted up a few more notches by changing the DAC.  Highly recommended for pairing with the LTA.

@mijostyn   My understanding is that ZOTL's are significantly different to OTL's.  LTA profusely acknowledges their debt to and connection with David Berning.  The ZOTL40 can be bridged to 80W.

Had anyone heard the z40 integrated?

I’m considering it for my Harbeth 40.3.  Concerned it might not be enough power.  I’m now using a Jeff Roland Concentra 2.
