Just ordered a Luxman SQ-N10, the new version of the SQ-N100 with a digital input for an iPod dock. I listen in the near-field to a pair of 89db speakers so am thinking I'll be good. Will be ordering a full set of the Gold Lion reissue tubes for it.
rikm - will guess that the better sound is more the result of new tubes rather than going to an 84m. 6-7 years is quite a few on a power tube. Even an EL84.
