I have spent the past several months researching the hell out of several amplifiers - both SS and tube, and <now that I'm back in Oregon> found myself itching to actually hear one of the amps in my list. In under a week I will receive a Shindo Montille CV381 amp from a dealer in Los Angeles. I will drive it with my Don Sachs Model 2 preamp first.

I have been particularly interested in this amp (and Leben CS600X amps as well).

I'll post my initial impressions a couple days after it arrives, and a deeper analysis after a couple weeks.
