I like the TFM line and each amp seems to have its own sound but one thing they all seem to have in common is a "rolled off" high end, especially when compared point blank with the Sunfires. Not sure if this is a result of trying to mimic the "tube" sound?

Could be. They do have warmth that makes you think tubes.

Please excuse my French.
Holy Shit! 
Man, that's a score of a lifetime!!! Congrat's my man, congrat's!
Wow.
In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence.
The best way to enjoy digital music reproduction is to never listen to a good analogue reproduction.

Heck,
You already have a buyer waiting in the wings with the most serious case of OCCD any of us has ever seen.

I just couldn't resist.
