How good is Aesthetix audio?

Aesthetix audio always seems to run under the radar. They have been around for awhile but don’t seem to get a lot of attention. Here on Audiogon, they seem to pop up here and there, but never with any consistency. I have always heard good things about them but how do they stack up against their peers? Their top of the line Eclipse range has always fascinated me, especially their power amps, but kinda risky not having ever heard one or even knowing much about their sound.

I have the Aesthetix Romulus Eclipse CD Player and it's awesome, especially with some great NOS Tubes...totally agree with talking to John R at Audio Connection...

The Aesthetix room at AXPONA 2019 was among my top few for natural sounding hi-fi. They were running their Mimas integrated amp into a pair of Aerial speakers, 7t or 6t if I remember right.

I've owned two of their preamps in the past.  Very reliable and excellent sound quality.  Recommended.

For the Same money or less Modwright is better in my opinion. They have a better integrated for 10k.

The Mimas power is 150 into 8 280 into 4 BUT the Modwright KEH 225i is 225W into 8 and 400 into 4! It’s cleaner too…less noisy and has 25W pure class A!!! It just has more control than the Mimas.
