Vitus audio?

Kops, I suggest you start by auditioning the Boulder 1060 or 2060 in your system. If you like what they do, the search ends there. I strongly doubt there is anything out there that does what they do better.

As many have said this is about sound preferences, and you have to listen to the contenders to know what kind of person you are, e.g. what type of sound you prefer. :)

You're in Europe right? Call the guys at Vitus and ask if you can come visit them. They're very friendly, I don't think that would be a problem. And while in Denmark you could most likely find a Gryphon setup to listen to as well.

Regarding Boulder - there is an audible difference between the 1000 and 2000 series. The 2060 stereo amp is about $40K and worth every penny.
I have also owned and used the Gryphon Antilean - quite different from the Boulder.
Given the SF speakers, you might want to give the new Ayre MX-R monoblocks a listen...Ayre and SF always seem to have a certain synergy...

Good luck !! Get listening...it's the only way!

It is NOT in the league of FM Acoustics. The FMs are more superior. I have a pair of VITUS SS 101 mono and SL Preamp for sale. Please contact me if you are interested. I now own FM Acoustics.

Hi, I have had the opportunity to compare Gryphon Antileon Signature, Boulder 1060, Vitus SS 101, in different and separate sessions.
The Boulder transparence, detail, coerence, silence was over the other contendent.
My peersonal preference :
1 Boulder 1060 ;
2 Vitus ;
3 Gryphon Antileon Signature.
