endgame Amp for my Audiovector R3 Arrete


Hi all!

Before driving across Holland to do some listening sessions with my shortlist I was curious if anyone here has some experience with my shortlist of int Amps (in combination with Audiovector R3 would be nice)

These amps on my shortlist all carry the same pricetag more or less here in holland (14 / 15K euro)

Esoteric F03A
Accuphase E800
T+A PA 3100HV
Vitus Audio RI101 MK2

US brands are expensive here and hard on support, so no Pass Labs, Boulder etc.

After all my research online and some listening sessions with Dynaudio speakers I think Class A is nice/sweet so im learning toward the first two. The Accuphase has more power on paper (50) vs de 30 of the Esoteric. When it comes to looks I like the Esoteric much better.... not as bulky and I like silver better than champagne. I know this is about audio quality but I like to take looks a little bit into consideration as well ;-)

What would you advice as the price tag is similar access all four?

Thanks for your time!

Thanks for your reply and consideration! What amp do you use? Do you regret getting the R6? Or system matching issue?
I read great things about Soulution and the R6 as well. Both well above my budget.

im really happy with the R3. Compared a lot to the Dynaudio contour 30i. 
Thanks for your valuable feedback 
SL Kraft and benchmark are unknown to me. The website of SL Kraft doesn’t give a great impression but that doesn’t say anything when it comes to sound of course 

thanks for all the advice, homework for me!
