Is all the hype warranted

My speakers are 92 db so should be good with alot of tube amps. I spoke with Decware to inquire on trial and return policy and schedule a listen ( I'm only 1.5 hrs from them)  I was told the wait is over 2yrs and that they don't have loaners.  So basically u custome order your unit, wait over 2 yrs, then if you don't like it you trade it in or return it.  Holy crap....But they must be doing something right.  That's a hell of a wait list.  I scheduled a phone consult.  May just grab one just cause they are hard to get.   I've been leaning towards a raven integrated though

I've owned both a Torii Mk IV and an SE34i.2+, along with their CSP3 preamp. All fine pieces and sounded great, none "giant killers", whatever that means. The closest to a keeper was the Torii, which I spent a year comparing to the Atma-Sphere M60s. I kept the Atmas.

Decware has been around a long time and Steve is a very competent amp designer and an even better amp marketer. They've always had a very fervent following and then were discovered by the media during Covid. Wait list to get a new one now is over 3 years.

I'd say if you really want to try a Decware amp pick one up used, should be easy to resell. People who ears I trust, like Larry, have said they are not that great but I've never heard a Decware amp.

You want easy load more than efficiency with lower power tube amps.   Think Fritz. 

Decware has unique aesthetics.  That doesn’t hurt.  Disclaimer:   Have never heard Decware but the products do appeal to me.   Seem to always have a big backlog of orders it seems.
