Compare Purif-based amp vs Class A/B (Code No 8/ Halo JC-5/ Pass X-250/ Anthem STR)


Looking for anyone that has actually done some comparative listening to Purifi-based amps vs quality Class A/B ampsunder $10k-ish like Coda No. 8, Halo JC-5, Anthem STR, Pass X250, etc. There is a lot of hype around this new Purifi module. I have speakers (Green Mountain C-3) that are decently efficient (93db, 6-ish ohm load, -3db @ 27Hz) and an easy load for an amp.I know of course that the answer is that it is very dependant on your particular system and preferences. I am just trying to get a general idea if anyone is choosing these Purfi-based amps over good Class A/B amps. Thanks for your input.

The VTV amp mentioned above is the bottom of the line stereo amp from VTV ($979 including shipping to your door).  The versions with the discrete op amps and discrete regulators are better.  Mono or dual mono stereo will get you a little more too.  He also has a version with a tube buffer if you want that kind of sound.  Then there are the advanced tweaky mods that I do.

There is a lot more that determines the sound than just what buffer you use on the input.  Every single thing you do changes the sound.  You might want to read what I do to get a little info on tweak possibilities.....especially if you are building your own.
Nothing against Purifi or Class A/B amps, but with your speakers have you tried any tube or Class A amps?  Is this an energy/heat thing?  Personally I’d love to hear your speakers with something like a Valvet E2.  Just curious. 
I actually have a pair of Viva Aurora SET monos using 845 and 211 tubes. Before that I had an Air Tight ATM-2.  I have a hybrid 2-channel and Surround system so looking for a musically satisfying SS amp.  I was thinking about the VTV Purifi monos with perhaps the tube input module
