One of the dealers I work with wants me to try some Viola amps. I heard them with TAD Ref1s and they sounded awesome!:audiophile:
Same for except I have not heard them. I think I need to hear them on the TADs.

There looks to be a Wyred 4 Sound amp down on the bottom. Did you compare the two by any chance?

Doug,
you refer to the comparison of the 25th and Amati Futura with Violas? I was confused, I'm sorry.
Which the model do you listen?
Ohhhh, I'm sorry... now I understand!!!:eyebrow:
I didn't compare Wyred with Violas, I compared the MC402, MC501 and Violas. I have a MC 402 in my HT, but in my stereo setup I prefer Viola.
Concerto's driving the midrange/tweeter and the Symphony driving the bass. Different cables were used (Zensati for speed on the bass and something else for sweet, smooth mid/highs). It was quite a sophisticated setup and I thought it worked extremely well!:audiophile:
I have a network player already. Dacs still undecided. Luxman or new dsd ayre perhaps. Lector should have a dsd capable tube dac already out. Italian company with good rep. May replace my xp-20 and go with tube preamp and therefore tube based dac may not b as critical to balance needs of my cr-1. Today Vitus rs-100 arrives. Tube preamps under consideration r Veloce ls-1, Zanden new 3100 and Nagra jazz. Amp finalists r viola labs symphony or concerto, vitus or zanden 8120. will make my final auditions in july and aug. as many products will not b available until later this summer I am attending California audio show beginning of aug. if my final choices r onsite maybe I can swing a deal. I am very excited that a tube front end might b perfect balance for my speakers.

Nick,
I am definitely interested in your impression of the Vitus. I read on Agon forums that the Vitus and the Salon 2s (my incoming speakers) is a magical combination!
Hi John,Was that the Bravo amp? Seems like Viola and Constellation are getting a lot of good press lately.
John
Wow! That could be really great.
