I got my Sound Quest SQ84-V2 Friday.   It's a very nice step up from the original SQ84.  Two inputs, an impedance selector for the speaker outputs, remote control, 15 vs 10 wpc output.   The styling is much nicer also, I like the black cage over the transformers, and it's shorter but wider.   I think the contrast of the blond wood with the silver knobs and black tube-cage is very nice. 
 
Sound is spectacular both with headphones and as an integrated.  I've barely begun to burn it in but I'm VERY impressed.   Tube compliment is a pair of 6U8's and a quad of 6V6's.  I love the 6V6, it's dynamic and extended but has a great midrange.   Is used in a lot of guitar amps.   And doesn't cost a fortune either, which is nice.

VERY nice looking amp!  The 6V6 is a nice sounding tube!  Would love to see that amp with the coke-bottle-shapped 6V6G's

I'm glad you like it - you encouraged me to buy it!   I PM'd you about tube amps and you told me to take the plunge, so I did.  I still love my Blue Circle SBH, but this is spectacular sound coming from this amp!

Just found out this amp sounds AMAZING on original Quad ESL's.   A very happy coincidence, since they make my Rega amp freak out.

Are those d5k or d7k's that you've got plugged in? How is the pairing?
 
thanks...

Looks great, which other headphones beside the denons you have?

This is a very nice setup.

I've owned both D5K's and D7K's in the past.    
 
I broke down and got a pair of HD800's. 
 
The HD800 is a huge step up across the board and sounds wonderful with this amp. 
 
Last night I used my Rogue Perseus Magnum as a pre into the Sound Quest....WOW.   Pretty spectacular.
