Ayre MX-R VS Vitus SS-010


Is there anyone, who has had the opportunity to compare these two amps? What amplifier to go for, when the keywords is: control, speed and a music sound reproduction.

Yes, I'm still a Peak man :-)

Unfortunately, it is not possible to borrow Ayre, while I can listen to everything from Vitus.
I have listened to a number of amplifiers, (Threshold, KR, Lamm and others).

I like the sound from a Vitus, but miss the control from my Crown Studio Reference (bass). But the Crown doesn’t sounds good in midrange and treble area. So an amp that combine the good things from Vitus and Crown is what I’m looking for, and then I have been told that the Ayre MX-R might me be amp. Unfortunately, it is not possible to borrow the Ayre before purchase. Therefore, the keyword for the amp I’m looking for is: control, fast and deliver a great music reproduction.

I'm not resident in U.S., but in Denmark (Europe).
-> Vinylmonkey: I don’t want to pay 16,000$ (= 50% of the salesprice) upfront, and signing a purchase agreement to loan an amp! When this is the conditions, I don’t want to loan or buy "locally".
YES :-)

I have just ordered a specially built Vitus SS-010 with XLR pre out (for bi-amping).
Well Audiozen, here's an update from me:

I don't have my Vitus amp anymore, and I don't understand your fanaticism about Viyus. Vitus has determined some errors, and I could not accept them as a customer!
