Counterpoint SA-4 s - comments?

I hardly know anybody who has ever had these. I'm looking for some thoughts from owners or previous owners because I have a chance at buying a pair. Assuming they can be biased w/ unmatched tubes, how good are these, really?

Thanks in advance

These were designed by Roger Modjeski for Counterpoint. With a sympathetic load, they are among the finest amps ever made.

I use mine with ML CLS I, sound fantastic. Cannot bias individual tubes. Despite the naysayers, never had a serious problem with them. Replacement tubes run $60. apiece, but I have had the current set for 7 years. Mike Elliott will repair or upgrade them for you at ALTA VISTA AUDIO.
