CAT JL-2 questions

[Steve Sutton]

Hi:
I'm looking for information on the Convergent Audio Technology JL-2 tube
power amp, such as: when they were introduced, if any changes have been
made since, if they are particularly synergistic with the CAT preamps,
stock tubes vs. other tubes, stock power cord vs. other power cords,
cables they seem to like, amount of heat generated (fans?), reviews or
sources of information, communications and service from manufacturer,
price used, stands, tweaks, idiosyncrasies, comparison to top amps,
compatibility with Watt Puppy 5.1 speakers? Any and all input welcomed.
Thanks in advance.

The reviewer calls it "rare" and says it works with the Wilson
Watt/Puppy 6.
