Wow! I can't wait to hear your feedback on this shootout of dreams.
 
Most of the kit now gone, so time for some feedback. The Vitus was good, with all the attributes that you'd expect - plenty of power, liquid sound, accurate timbre, stunning on vocals etc. However, the Bernings were better in many respects - quicker, more transparent, even more accurate in terms of timbre, and made the Vitus sound almost lazy in comparison (even though it isn't in isolation).
The area where the Vitus scored better was in terms of current drive (as you'd expect of a solid-state design vs valves), meaning it was a much better partner for the relatively inefficient YG Haileys where the Berning sounded thin. With the more sensitive speakers, however, the outcome was in favour of the Bernings for the reasons outlined above.
