Proceed hpa3 + hpa2 or simaudio titan?

I've never heard a Simaudio Titan, but I have Proceed HPA 2 & 3 amps that I use daily. They are superb.

My experience with Proceed amps is that they're pretty bullet proof. I've used several Amp 2s for decades. Given that the HPA 3 weighs about 100 pounds, it seems more reasonable to explore a local shop that deals with high-end stuff to do any repairs should it become necessary.

Internetmin writes, "The local shops that I looked at--even the former Proceed dealers--don't have the local know-how to repair them any longer." That differs from my experience in Santa Barbara. My Amp 3 was repaired locally, and the shop commented on what a pleasure it was to work on such a well built amp. A Proceed preamp or processor may be a different matter, but amps are much simpler.
