Crown vs Vidar

I will soon be purchasing my first Hi-Fi equipment in 40 Years!  Yes, that is how long the DC 150 A series II has lasted. It still tests at 93W RMS and sounds really great.  I have settled on  Shiit Freya to replace the old and still going crown  SL-1.  Even now after hearing McIntosh, Levenson. Krell, (very impressive) the difference in sound I still like this system.  I am wondering if a Vidar will sound better than this old Crown Amp?  I know with the mentioned high end amps it would be no contest. But the Vidar is rated close to the Crown and affordable on my budget. 
 I am a Speaker builder and have 4ft 8" 3 way vented towers. The response rolls slowly off from 30hz and highs with a titanium compression unit with a dayon 3" dome mid. The highs are on a variable ipad. I like how this amp really gets it on never giving out on the lows.
My townhome is small and the listening area is about 15x20 my ears being 15ft from the speakers. I like the detail, the strings,  the voices, solid lows.  I would sure like a side by side on the two Amps.  Has anyone owned both?  If so, what do you think?
Here is the review on the Crown.  Thank you for your valued opinion.
