Jeff...first of all, good meeting you at the Cape last weekend. In any case, I was curious what speakers you drove with the Zen Torii? Also, how would you compare the sound to tube amps you have recently used: ARC, C-J, Octave, McIntosh, etc...). I know this is a low powered amp and most of the amps I am asking you to compare to were generally higher-powered tube amps but to the extent you can make high-level comparisons to the house sound of some of these other amps that would be helpful. I would assume, you would need at least 90dB speakers with nominal impedance of 6ohms and up and no dips below 4ohms to match with the Zen Torii but your answer above to what speakers you used with them will be instructive in how well it mated with your various speakers
Thx
