Aria owners? Mike Elliot's new company

I have, and love, two of Mike's upgraded Counterpoint amps and an upgraded counterpoint sa-11 preamp.

Just curious if anyone owns, has listened to, or has heard reviews about Mike's new venture, Aria LTD. The amps look pretty exciting. any comments?

www.altavistaaudio.com - see link to Aria from there if curious.

Very, very nice sounding amps...low noise floor, fabulous midrange/highs. Though they did play very low bass octaves, my only complaint was the lack of "bass slam" that I am used to from solid state amps. Overall, these powerhouses are a great value for the $. If you are considering these amps, you can't go wrong with the home audition.
