Wells Audio Akasha Amplifier- Any owners here?

Scott Frankland is closely involved with design and production of the Wells amps, which makes me figure that they are very, very good indeed.

Only a home trial will tell me if the Akasha is a good choice in my system, but I'm hoping to get as much information here and elsewhere before I commit to that.

I've read nothing but great things as well about the Wells Audio amps but there's a guy on Audiocircle that replaced his Innamorata with a Aaron No.3 amp and says it bested the Wells amp in every way. The Aaron amp is cheaper too!

I auditioned about half a dozen amps (both solid state and tube) and ended up purchasing a Wells Innamorata Signature amp. The Wells amp bettered all the others I listened to in the areas of tonality, soundstage width and depth, dynamics, and clarity.

Yeap, that was me...the one that replaced Innamorata in my system with the Aaron no3 amp...not missing the Wells amp at all...Innamorata is a great amp, one of the best I've heard, but in my system, Aaron does add the cherry on top...:)...the height of the soundstage increased...and the 'organic' feeling of the voices is the thing that pushed me towards the Aaron...:)

Nice lasi!

Don't know if Wells Audio or their dealers offer a trial period but Aaron Amps have a 30 day money back guarantee from the delivery date. From what I read I believe the Akasha runs around $4k, while the Aaron No.3 is around $2800.

Just food for thought for the OP. I just picked up a pair of Stratos amps that I've sent to get upgraded to Kismet by Klaus at Odyssey, otherwise I would be very interested in the Aaron.

Good luck!
