Hi - does anybody have any literature or info/opinions on this amp? I just bought one from ebay, it is my first foray into tubes, and although I know it is low power, I have often found, especially for vintage, that Realistic units are often way under rated. I am hoping this is the case here. I seek "great sound" (duh) at a lower investment than some of the stuff I've seen float around (yikes). I have a variety of quality and efficient, new or vintage speakers to use with the amp, and intend to have the unit thoroughly inspected/bring-to-spec by a local respected stereo guy.
But I'd like anyone else's thoughts...worth putting some bucks into? Good circuit design? Waste of time? A manual would be most welcome...!! Thanks folks...

Yamaha Cr-1020 and CR-2040
Realistic Nova 8Bs
Athena model somethings - very nice
Boston Acoustics Micro 90s and 90c - excellent for the money, they pair well with athenas and i've heard few speaker matchings that did as well
Integra 8.3 Receiver - solid performer, clean sound
Onkyo Integra TH-SV919 THX - sweet sound - heavy as hell
Bunch of other misc...but I do say my stuff holds its own with any similar power range...
