Can you please let me know what you think of this amplifier? I've read it sounds the "most tube-like" out of any amplifier. Is this true? I own all tube equipment, but am thinking about getting a more powerful amp for the 3.1TLs I just finished rebuilding the crossover for. If you own this amp, or have heard it enough to give a competent opinion please let me know.

Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....
