Yes, I saw that one. I think that Mr Batjakis did not talk to me about it because it is rather new and maybe he did not get one yet.
The problem is that I can't hear any of these things before buying.
If they don't match well with my speakers, I will have to sell them.
I will loose less money on a small amp + it will be easier to sell than for an amp costing around 18000 euros ( just a guess, I don't know the price of the Q. The Corton El34 cost 9700 euros taxes included )+ I have already powerful tube amps : I'm looking more for a "small" amp but with a different sound than the 2301's than an other "big" amp. Having 2 pairs of monoblocks in the same system costing around 18000 euros each is a bit "too much" for my beloved wife and even for me !
