Is the moscode 600 a great amplifier?

Hi there,

I'm planing to buy a Moscode 600 power amp. I found a lot of reviews on the web, but they're quite mixed: some are lukewarm if not bad (a reviewer said it's a "low" fi!!), others are nice.
Anyone can tell me his experience with this special amp? In particular, does it really match well with inefficient speakers?

Thanks,

Michaël

I was auditioning a pair of speakers and heard the Moscode head to head with the Van Alstine hybrid amp. The Van Alstine smoked it.

The speakers were Salk Audio Veracity HT3's. The Moscode was not the 600, but a new one that is getting raves.

By comparison the Moscode seemed dark. The Van Alstine amp was very musical. Nice tonal balance all the way around. For the money, Van Alstine is a real giant killer. BTW, I don't own any Van Alstine gear.
