LFD Integrated - Please talk me out of buying one

I found the LFD MK III to have too much high frequency energy with my system and speakers vs a Croft integrated or Pass X30.5.

It wasn't bright per se but it did have a tilt to the high frequencies which I found fatiguing. If I purchased Harbeths I would try and audition it again.

Save some money and look for a Sonneteer Orton. Many claim it has "tube like" qualities. It appears well made and it might even sound better then the over hyped LFD?

Another suggestion to give Gene Rubin a call. He is very easy and friendly to talk with.

I don't know your power requirements, listening habits, room size, etc...but I've recently took ownership of the greatest amp I've ever owned, the Clones 25i integrated. In my system, it is very natural, organic and just plain "real" sounding. It has EASILY bested three amps from E.A.R., amps from Kora, Dynaco, MANY transistor amps, a few digital and one battery powered amp. Even my E.A.R. 890 and Job 225 couldn't come close to the natural sound and beautiful tone of the Clones. The 890 is just a stereo amp and it retails for something like $7,000 +.
Put simply, the Clones makes every other amp I've had sound like HiFi.
If your considering an amp that puts out 25 watts into 8 ohms and 50 into 4, than do yourself a favor and hear the Clones. Funjoe's mono's are 50 into 8 and 100 into 4 (if you need that).
Again, this is in my system. YMMV.
