I avoid crack and similar drugs. I hear they are very addictive. I think the similarly about high end tube stuff. If Al's ST-70 is any indication, these Meli should leave solid state in the dust. One day it will hit me and I will be damaged goods, forever tubified.
One can only wonder what B Carver's 900watt $32K monsters sound like paired to a proper pair of planars (Madnepan MG20.1s, just trolling for flames!).
