OCTAVE v80se w/SBB and JADIS I-50

Thank you for all your advice.
I forgot about the Class A and Class A/B differences of the 2 amps.  And the simpler biasing of the Octave.  I have heard the Jadis i-50.  I will try to get a chance to listen to the Octave soon.

I think all of you are on the right track about both brands. Thanks for the lead.

The Jadis has its strong house sound of "lush warm romanticism’ portrayal of music.
The Octave has a "cleaner modern sound" with a more modern execution of technology. (I assume you can hear the "technology" and feel it... haha!)

For my taste in equipment (a Burmester user) and in music (all genres of music; classical to techno/dance), I prefer the sound of Octave and I think it will work better for me too. I am building a second system with Vienna Acoustics The Kiss.

Btw, where does Ayon (Spirit III or Triton III) stand between Jadis and Octave?
Thanks, again.
