Verellen Octals

[JPSixgunner]

Has anyone checked out (or better yet tried) the Verellen Octal solid state replacement "tubes"?
They claim to be a direct drop in replacement for octal power tubes in push-pull amps without paraphrase phase inverters.
The demo I heard wasnt imo, ideal to show off what they can do.
Interesting idea although they are currently $299 a pair!
Thoughts...?

Nope.

Just buy the $299 amp it's going to make your amp sound like.   

Seems like an odd first post to make, I guess it's actually an ad?
