Ayre MX-R VS Vitus SS-010

->Jtinn

Yes, I'm still a Peak man :-)

Unfortunately, it is not possible to borrow Ayre, while I can listen to everything from Vitus.

What else have you listened to and what were your thoughts? Are you outside the US?

Sthomas: What were the amps that were close to the Ayre but much less costly?

I have listened to a number of amplifiers, (Threshold, KR, Lamm and others).

I like the sound from a Vitus, but miss the control from my Crown Studio Reference (bass). But the Crown doesn’t sounds good in midrange and treble area. So an amp that combine the good things from Vitus and Crown is what I’m looking for, and then I have been told that the Ayre MX-R might me be amp. Unfortunately, it is not possible to borrow the Ayre before purchase. Therefore, the keyword for the amp I’m looking for is: control, fast and deliver a great music reproduction.

I'm not resident in U.S., but in Denmark (Europe).

Have you listened to a Burmester or a Karan?
