Power amps: Bel Canto v.s. PS Audio Hybrid


I´m seeking your opinions on the pros and cons of two power amps, i.e. Bel Canto Design eVo 200.2 v.s. the recently released PS Audio Hybrid Class A. Both look promising on paper and fit my budget.
Does anyone have experience, opinion, expertise, advise or just plain, unsupported preference?

Hello!
I was fortunate enough to be able to listen to a beta test unit of the PS Audio amp and hear it compared directly to the Bel Canto, and the PS unit was a FAR more musical amp, with better detail all around. Also, it was not "harmonically thin" sounding like the Bel Canto tends to be if not driven by a full bodied tube pre-amp. The PS amp is one heck of a nice sounding amp for the money, and even a lot more. If I had to stick with solid state for an amp choice, it would win hands down. You won't regret trying one out!
