I played next to a guy for 4-5 years who swears by them live, in the studio, and even in backline riders; to me, they were brittle and all bad mids in an very annoying way...no thanks.
I've been playing for more years than I can remember and know that speakers need some breaking-in time. However, no amount of breaking in would ever smooth out this amp to something I could use. Some amps sound better with certain guitars and that may be the case with this model. But I basically play one guitar -- if it doesn't cut it with that, it ain't cutting it with me.
There are some things I quite liked about the amp, but not the things that really matter with me and what I play.

There are days I wish I still had my early 70's SF Princeton Reverb...never thought twice about the sound coming out of it.
Once you get above 15W everything changes as you need to assess a lot more power, room size, tone at different volumes, etc. Too little -or- too much of something always hits the player's ear wrong...but, not necessarily to those listening.
The second guitarist in my band has a Princeton Reverb (SF), Hot Rod Deluxe (too much amp for our band, but works for him for his Stones tribute band) and a Peavey Bandit from the dark ages that works just fine for outdoors...but the SFPR is just about perfect for any and all smaller club gigs...sure wish I had bought the one I found years ago for $375 at a vintage guitar show...but they wouldn't take a charge card (!)...

Princeton Reverbs....
"...pray do not imagine that those who make the noise are the only inhabitants of the field;
that, of course, they are many in number; or that, after all, they are other than the little,
shriveled, meagre, hopping, though loud and troublesome, insects of the hour."
-Edmund Burke
I remember one time reading that session ace Carl Verheyen had a small-club and demo-recording rig - his smallest rig - (and here was a man with Fender and Marshall heads and THD hotplates for each and 4x12 cabs...) - was a Mesa Studio Preamp, a simple multifx unit, and a pair of those SFPR.
