Yes I have! I auditioned the Wadia Intuition 01 back to back with the 170 and 240, back in August 2013.
In short I didn't like it at all. It sounded really harsh and abrasive to the point that after 10 mins or so we disconnected it. A complete disappointment. Also one of the rubber legs dropped off whilst it was being packed or unpacked.
I was surprised by this since since I'd read a few positive reports on other forums. I understand that the unit has since had a recall so it's quite possible that it sounds much better now.
