Jadis Orch Ref vs opera consonance m100plus


Main difference for me at this point is

jadis-
rare in Finland, probably very difficult to buy used in finland
certainly over 1200usd used in US meaning 120v meaning i
need a downstep convertor or to modify
probably a better amp than the opera

opera-
can buy used in Finland for under 1200usd
220v and a dealer in my town
made in china
probably worse amp than jadis

also how might these amps rate in comparison:
Audio electronic AE-25
TAD 60

What is the standard voltage in Finland? The Jadis is French and uses European voltage as a standard. The JOR is a much more expensive amp than a M100 plus and sounds quite different. I doubt that you can find one for $1200 used. The last couple on ebay weren't the Reference which is even more expensive than the regular Orchestra, and the standard orchestra sold for close to $1,500 looking well worn. Since cost is a major issue for you, if you like the sound of the Opera/Consonance, which I own, then I would buy that. It will cost you a lot less if you find one used you'll get a real bargain. I enjoy mine a great deal in my system but is not a Jadis!
My good friend is a Jadis fanatic and I heard his old Reference many times. I am not going to do a review comparing these 2 amps because I found them to be extremely different, and Jadis really can't be head to head compared because it is in another cost category alltogether. Have you compared the retail on these 2 amps? Have you heard both?
