Monarchy se-100 delux mk2?

Anyone, please - Is it worth upgrading from SM-70 PRO to SE-100 Delux MK2?

When I owned the SM-70 Pros, which was a few years ago, CC Poon himself said the SM-70 Pro sounded better than the SE-100, which he only built to reach the 100 watt level some people require. The MK2 version may have changed that equation, although I think he's upgraded the SM-70 line recently too. CC was pretty good about answering questions, and I had a lot of them, so I'd suggest writing Monarchy.

I really loved my SM-70 Pros, but they were a little noisy once I got my Druids. With lower sensitivity speakers, they were terrific.

Hi.

I saw a rather favorable review about the SE-100 Deluxe MK2s on Stereomojo and was curious if anyone has any further thoughts or updates on their feelings about them?

They seem like a great value. I'm having a hard time finding quality monoblocks under $1500. I have tried the Outlaw M2200s but I think they are giving me listening fatigue. I saw Emotiva's monoblock offerings but I'm unsure about their musicality. I have Emotiva gear for HT only.

Thanks everyone and advise when you can.
