Well it will be +1 pretty soon. Matt @ Pitch Perfect showed it to me over the weekend and he was as gracious and helpful as usual.

The Cortese is a very nice IMO if you don't need mono amps or more power. For that be prepared to pay handsomely! However, for people who willing to pair it with appropriately efficient and higher impedance speakers, and/or don't need super high SPLs this is a damn good one to consider!

For me it's a perfect companion to my Aurieges... They will both only take up one shelf of my table. And the price is more approachable than the other Shindo S.E. gear. I'll just need to start to think about what I want to do for speakers...
