Cary 805 vs Viva Solista


I own a pair of Cary 805C monoblocks which I use with my Avantgarde Duo Omega speakers. I have to say this is the best amp I have tried so far with my Duo's (and I've tried a lot!).

I have seen some threads here on AudiogoN where people have switched to Viva amplifiers. However it has been the Aurora or Verona which is out my budget range.

The Viva Solista is within reach for me and I was wondering if anyone has experiences with the Cary 805 and Viva Solista they could share?

Thanks,
Mohano

Tonib.... While I have never heard the 805's on speakers as efficient as yours, I know that they work very nicely with speakers well into the high 90's. The 805's seem to be very quite to me.

Mohano is exactly spot on. The 805's will give you more dynamics, better top and bottom extension, more depth of soundstage and be able to exact finer details in the music.

The SLI80 is a very, very good integrated. The 805's are flat out awesome!
