Hegel H30 Stereo vs Clayton M300 Monoblocks


Looking for opinions. I've heard them both with Revel Ultima Salon II and both sounded great. Hegel H30 Stereo Mode with a bit more agility and possibly slightly more detail, Clayton M300 with more body, slightly more natural.  Both about $15K retail. All opinions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you for your response Charles!...pretty much my thinking as well.
The Hegel is a remarkable amplifier, also more quiet at idle, but once the music starts playing the Clayton is the more natural. Interesting topology in bridged class A design that Clayton uses.
Mr. Shen once told me at a show that Nelson Pass wasn't impressed with his topology but sure liked the Clayton sound.
Your opinion is valued...thanks again!
