@meekeenz. I have owned dozens of amps of which said brands (to name a few) were mentioned. I guess I should have been more specific in terms of which models I was referring to as opposed to simply mentioning brands. Sorry for the confusion.
If you are asking how the Gato AMP 150 compares to the Esoteric F-05, I would have to give the nod to the Esoteric sonically. Since it also has additional features beyond that of the Gato, it also has some additional value.
Its been a while since I have owned both pieces of gear but I do remember how well the Gato paired with Aerial Acoustic speakers.
I hope that answers your question.
