GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?

@markmuse, Thank you so much for doing this comparison.  I cannot wait to hear how the Voyager v AVA 225’s goes.

The 225’s have been of great interest to me for a long time.

I own the Voyager and loved it in used with my previous speakers.  But have not had access to it since receiving new, much better speakers recently.
 

Will have the Voyager back in about 10 days and am anxious to compare it to the two amps I’ve been using lately.  The new speakers are quite remarkable for their ability to pass thru what is ahead of them an thus will reveal the Voyager’s traits more than my old speakers could.

@markmuse 

appreciate the initial comparison of AVA225 and LSA Voyager.  You say you didn’t expect the two amps to be so close.  Curious which one you expected to sound better?

@markmuse Audiovector R3 Arrete’.  They are 8 ohm and 90.5 sensitive.  A  friend of mine was just over and he liked them very much.  He has a big room and really enjoys his Fyne 704’s.

The R3’s are the company’s smallest floorstander and happen to be an  ideal size for my dedicated room.  

@markmuse :

“It is closer than I expected it to be”

The above line is what made me wonder if you specifically had a hunch one of these would sound better than the other.  But I get that you very well may have just not expected any two amps to be this close in performance.

Rest assured I have no angle in my questioning.  Like accusing you of “confirmation bias”, for instance.  You strike me as a seasoned hobbyist who calls it as he hears it after carefully assessing.
