I am curious about these two amps and their matching preamplifiers. I heard the Soulution 511 at the recent HK HiFi show and I think it has potential. Unfortunately, the Vitus S103 was not shown, only the SIA-025. This little integrated sounded pretty good too, thus my dilemma.

To those who have listened to both amps in question, can you please make a comparison? Which one do you think will match well with Magico S7s? For some reference, I like the sound of Naim and Hegel.

Will the S103 be enough to drive the S7 in a 40 sqm. or 430 sqft. room?

Looking forward to your replies. TIA!!!
 
I'm thoroughly enjoying the SS-103 on the S5 mk2's. I would note that it does sound best plugged direct into the wall.

I think the differences are going to be more three dimensionality with the SS-103, more tonality richness as well. The 511 (assuming it's like the 501's) will give you more raw power for louder listening, have great bass control and be a speed demon. Tough call. Both are really excellent.

What preamp?
 
Thanks Mike for the reply. I intend to get their matching pre-amps. Fyi. Thanks!
