Which 300b amplifier for Devore O/96


I am looking to upgrade (and simultaneously downsize) from Coincident Frankenstein Mk2 300b SET monoblock amps to one of these stereo amplifiers.

These are the four candidates so far: Nagra 300p, Luxman MQ-300, Wavac EC-300B, Air Tight ATM-300R, Shindo Cortese 300b

My preamp/dac is Bricasti M12 and my speakers are Devore O/96.

I am not looking nor interested in any other 300b amps at this point.

If anyone has compared one or more of these amps (esp on an Orangutan) do chime in.

Where I live I can probably demo the Nagra and the Air Tight but nothing else.

Thoughts?

I am the importer and reseller for Art Audio.  Our Diavolo 300B is legendary and has been steadily improved over 20 years.  I would put it up against any of these and I am 100% certain the Diavolo will win.  It is available in stereo, mono-block and integrated.  We also offer a Harmony Silver version which eliminated PCBs and is point-to-point wired using silver wire.  

We have great reviews on older models and the amp is even better now.  And because I am consumer direct, you get a bit sharper of a price with no wholesaler margin.  I will also give you 30 days in-home with it.  And we offer upgrades to either KR or Sophia Tubes (for a price) and we have a bunch of other options available.  Your only risk is return shipping.  

Basically, I believe you should be able to get your amp, your way.  

I know you said your not interested in other options but I promise, you won’t regret considering us.
