SS integrated amp to drive Wilson audio sophia/WP7
My Sophia2s arrive in a few days, and I'll be able to comment on the Ayon Triton Intergrated/Sophia2 combo. Like you, I'm trying to keep my kit as simple as possible while pushing for more performance. BTW - the Triton replaced a BAT vk300x-se Int...

Loudspeakers with a wide sweet spot
Check out the Dali Euphonia line. The website highlights some of their sound principles, one of which is building speakers with a wide sweet spot - http://www.dali.dk/display_content.php/INT/widedispersion.html 
Ayon Triton Integrated or Keep my BAT?
Okay- I’m going with the Ayon Triton! The BAT VK300x-SE is for sale and the Triton has found a home in my audio rack. I have been a long time BAT fan and have owned at least eight different BAT amps, preamps, and integrated amps over the years. I ... 
Ayon Triton Integrated or Keep my BAT?
Hey Audio852- the source I'm using right now is a Modwright Transporter network music player (tube output stage and platinum power upgrade). The Ayon is driving a pair of Dali Euphonia MS4s. The Modwright Transporter easily outperformed my two pri... 
Ayon Triton Integrated or Keep my BAT?
Tonight I had time to do some side-by-side listening with the BAT and Ayon. The Ayon reminded me of everything I liked about tube amplification - smoother & fuller tone, along with a more spacious presentation. The Ayon also reminded me of the... 
Ayon Triton Integrated or Keep my BAT?
Hey Guys-The Ayon Triton has landed! I just finished uppacking the triple box and positioning it on the stand to beging the thawing process. Kinda cold here in the Washington, DC suburbs (12 miles from the White House). The unit is much bigger tha... 
Ayon Triton Integrated or Keep my BAT?
Encouraging reports guys. I expect to have the Triton in two weeks, and I'm looking forward to the shootout with my BAT integrated. Sounds like the BAT will be facing some stiff competition! 
Ayon Triton Integrated or Keep my BAT?
I think I saw a black vk52se hit the site the other day. I'm sure you'll have many more opportunities this year Jfrech. I'll be doing a Ayon Triton versus BAT Vk300x SE shootout later this month. I'll have both units in my system by 1/23 and I'll ... 
Ayon Triton Integrated or Keep my BAT?
Thanks John. I asked him about his experience a few days ago and looking forward to his response. 
Ayon Triton Integrated or Keep my BAT?
Hey Jfrech. Definitely like the BAT sounds and I have owned their separates in the past (you may remember my 52SE listing). Just trying to find a one box solution that moves in the direction of the BAT pre/BAT tube amp combo. I'm hoping that the T... 
BAT VK 300 SE Integrated as a Preamp?
Thanks. Anyone else have experience using the bypass function on the BAT integrated? 
BAT VK 300 SE Integrated as a Preamp?
Thanks Art80342 and I'm not surprised by your experience. I would expect a dedicated pre to outperform the VK300 as a pre. I guess for me the questions is how much of a difference are we talking about? If the VK300's preamp performance is 85% to 9...

Thanks Jeffga, Jb8312, & Roxy54. I found a local dealer who carries DeVore and I'll be checking out the Nines next week. Also, I thought the Coincident Total Eclipses were designed for tube amps... Either way, I remember reading several positi...
