Sussurro MkII and A-95 - who's heard both?

[tony22]

From what I've read they seem more alike than different, in terms of being clear, articulate, fast, and open, but not much beyond that. I've heard the A-95 on a VPI Avenger and liked it, but I haven't had the chance to hear the Sussurro MkII, let alone on the same table? Anyone heard both?

I have heard both, but not at the same time or the same system. I have the A95 and love it. I heard the Sussurro in the VPI room at Capital Audio Fest in November. They has it set up on an Avenger with a Lyra Etna set up on a matching Avenger for comparison. I preferred the Sussurro and so did many other in attendance. A friend bought the Sussurro after hearing it at that demo.

Thank you asindc. As they were on different systems I can appreciate this is purely subjective, but what did you take away as any potential differences between the two? (The Sussurro and A-95)
