Anyone familiar with new Sim Audio Moon Rock amps?

These just got a very favorable review in a major mag.Anyone have any experience vs the usual competition!All feedback welcome.I may consider,at a future point,the TAD-1 loudspeakers,which I've heard and love.Currently running a 200 wpc Rowland 8t/with second chasis,housing the new switch mode power supply,as opposed to the previous battery,which I ran.I know the Pass amps are a nice choice for these,but the "warm" sound of the ROCK and the 1000 wpc may be a great match,as the Tads LOVE power.Any thoughts?

Best regards!

I've heard them- they do stomp on W-10s, and they, in my opinion, obliterated the Musical Fidelity kW's - the Rocks has visceral bass, amazingly open midrange and highs that were lightning fast and detailed - it made the kW's sound slow, sluggish and seemingly "fat" by comparison. Problem is that the Rocks are huge - a massive "near-cube" as described in Stereophile, and I don't have space, although I can afford them. Compared also to the big Classe's, the Rocks were more articulate, fast, with tighter, deeper bass and a more three-dimensional sound stage. You have to hear them to believe them, but I think that only a couple of specialty dealers have them, but believe me, it's worth a trip to hear them.
