Odyssey Audio Kismet Monoblock Integrated, external power supply

So, with my separation of my HT and 2 channel, I have decided to go pre-amp-less. This kind of negates my need for this arrangement.
I have been extremely pleased with the sound of this unit, with the external power supplies the background is super black and has an extremely musical sound that just allows hours and hours of listening.
This build is fairly unique in that it is a 3 piece configuration, there is the main unit which houses a monoblock and tube preamp. The secondary unit for the second monoblock and a third unit for the power supplies to the main unit.
Included is the following
Main unit, monoblock and preamp chassis
Secondary unit, monoblock
Third unit, power supplies for main unit
2 x umbilical cables for power supply hook up
2 x power cables
1 x remote control (volume only)
2 sets of preouts
Original boxes
2 x mullard 12au7 tubes
2 x rca clear top tubes
2 x rca black plate tubes
Condition, I would say they are in overall great condition, few small marks here and there and the chrome pillars show some light wear. See pics
Specs
Ultra fast and ultra expensive Symphonic Line Caps
Stereo version 2 x 160W / 8 Ω
Mono version 1 x 200W + 1 x 200W / 8 Ω
Ultra high current designs
19" x 19" x 6"
60 lbs each / 27 kg each
Stable to 2 ohms
Made in USA, amplifiers based off of the rg11 from symphonic line
Double traced circuit boards, high quality wima caps, sonicap
Wbt binding post and rcas
This unit has an input labeled as HT bypass, but it is not a HT bypass.
Will post pics in a day or so
$2950 shipped, will accept trades and will drive up to 4 hours for delivery or hand off

power supply thingy is hiding behind the TT accessories. Khartago to the right and the big kid is holding the center solid.
Damn...
Gonna be a couple days before I can really voice opinion as Klaus' caps need time to cook. Then some tube rolling but the bass on this...woof.

Have had it lit up and running, really amazing extension on the treble, bass very well controlled and also extended. Jaw dropping sound stage.
Tested tubes last night on the tester and found the set I had in this to be bad (one side of one tube completely failed). So I threw another set in. Muddy mids..blah... I took that opportunity to switch the Tempest back in. No magic... it sounded good but no magic. Took the Tempest back out and put a basic set of 12AU7 Amperex orange labels in the pre that tested very strong and magic is back.
Maybe because the transformer for the pre is external? I've got another 8 pair of 12AU7's and variants to go through that tested good so more fun to come.
Gonna have to pry my cold, dead hands from this rig if you think it's leaving!
