I have been interested in these for a long while now. As much as I'm in the car, it seems very logical to have a tube amp to listen to while driving. Would also help with extended trips I would think- very pleasing to listen to. Any opinions?

I am looking at this amp too. It's look kind of doing the thigs right.. but the problem is with the listening not reading reviews. I also wonder if there are people who have really sample and give it a comments or reviews at best.
I need to know the matching speakers, positioning and all the other little stuff that really matters.

I was a dealer for them in the 90's and have two myself. Very nice. The best sounding car gear I have heard. They accept balanced inputs as well as RCA's. I also have two of their line drivers that convert RCA to balanced, one with a crossover in it as well. Use them for the Mid/Hi and get something solid state for subs to save some $$. Unless you have lots of money and room as they are not small.
