Any Opinions on Dehavilland 50A amp?

Looks to be a very interesting design.Any thoughts on sound/build quality,as well as ability to drive various loads(within reason).

We hooked them up to my Snell E speakers and let them warm up. After listening to several LPs I came to the conclusion that this was a special amp. SET midrange with LOTS! of headroom,bass and slam. The amps just seemed to take complete control of the situation.Inner details, overtones and decay the likes of which I have rarely heard. Macro and micro dynamics seemed to be hashed out including big organ pedal notes and their decay. I could definitely live with these.

If you check out the Audio Note ANE you will find that it is based on the Snell E. amazingly you can get the Snells on Agon for about $300.00. A true sleeper.
