Audio Net amplifiers from Germany


Was curious to know if anyone has had exposure to these amps and who might the importer be.Specificly,the 210 W/CH monos at $9500.Have had a good friend and audio colleague mention them as a possible reference quality amplifier
Thanks in advance,for any and all information.Tom

Elberoth2,thanks for the feedback.Would you be willing to disclose the system that was used ,during this audition.I would be appreciative.Thanks,Tom.
Brooks,I am enjoying the Viva Verona XLs.They are very dynamic and throw a huge soundstage.They have good extension {top/bottom} and that magical SET midrange.I am always curious about exceptional solid-state designs,due to the fact that I could leave it running, with little warm-up time.The Vivas take about 15 minutes to open up.The heat problems of the older Vivas {IE: non ventilated chassis, has been cured}.As I understand, that the stored heat in the chassis would take component parts out of their operating parameters and occasionally blow-up.I was looking for a simple tube complement {only one driver/output tube} and the replacements are not expensive.I understand that the Krell phonos were subject to this same problem.They sounded good until the class-A circuit got hot-then the sound deteriorated {chassis needed ventilating }.
Do you know whether the Audio Net amps are available for home demonstration? Not that I am dissatisfied with the Vivas,but am curious.Thanks for your post.
