Howie,
I have listened to these Jadis amps about 3 months ago. They are very good.
But overpriced. Actually they are hand made in France where :
- we pay more than twice the taxes you pay in the US
- a worker in France cost the double compared to the US ( people don't earn 2x more money : you actually pay the same amount of salary the worker gets, to pay taxes, unemployment insurance, retirement, health and so on...
Compared to an amp made in the US, the Jadis should cost 9k. So the price versus value of this product is really poor compared to american products.
A pair of 2301 will kick the ass of the Jadis amps all over the Spectrum.
But I would also consider ARC, VTL, CJ and Manley amps if you're into tube amplifiers.
