Thank you for the kind offer. The few times I can find reviews of Vitus gear, it always seems to be mated to Magico's. What's the source/basis of this pairing?
Probably many opinions on the Magico/Vitus synergy, my opinion is that Magico until recently was a bit hard to tame with SS, maybe a little "too much resolution" without enough warmth. Then comes Vitus - Resolution but naturalness and a click of warmth. Also Magico is capable of world class bass and Vitus delivers it in spades.
Although now with the latest S series, following the MPro tech advancements and the trickle down to all of the latest S series (S1II, S5II and S7) you could get by with a lot of other great SS amps that are out there, but Vitus has just right blend of driver control for world class bass, high resolution, musicality, warmth (not too warm) and naturalness.
Again others could have totally different opinions on the subject, this is just my opinion.
Vitus works pretty much with any speaker not just Magico, but works very well specifically with Magico.
Thanks for this thorough explanation. I'm trying to optimize my 803's, but now thinking that they and the Ayre integrated should just be relegated to the dining room, and Vitus and Magico should be the main system. Too many options, too few rooms.
I was wondering if there was some sort of strategic relationship between Vitus and Magico. I didn't think they shared ownership vis a vis Classe and B&W. And now I'm reading that Vitus 'partnered' with Gauder while Solution partnered with Magico at Munich (and just how does that work -- is it like asking a date to prom? 'oh, gee, really wish you had asked sooner, but I've agreed to go with....").
I guess I'll go stepwise and start with the Vitus. I read nothing but wonderment about the S3's (the Magico I barely hope to afford). Maybe by the time I've saved up enough coin, they'll have come out with whatever the Mark II version of that will be.....
