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.

Oh, and it's less than $900 new.

Well, no one was quite convincing enough. Couldn't quite justify new so I took the dive today on a slightly used LFD NCSE offered by a very nice local seller. I hooked it up and have been listening for the past few hours. Interesting piece; utilitarian, very solidly built, unique. Piano sounds REALLY nice. Vocals as well. Listening to Etta James now, it's like I can reach out and touch her - not that I would - but very present, round sound. Acoustic jazz guitar - wow. Maybe slightly rolled off in the highs vs. the Luxman. A little euphonic - not a bad thing at all. For the music I like most (jazz, acoustic stuff, solo piano, guitar etc.) I think it's the right move. I appreciate the Sonneteer advice as well - had an Alabaster a few years ago, sorry I ever sold it.
Thanks for all the advice!! Was fun to read and consider.
