Aria owners? Mike Elliot's new company


I have, and love, two of Mike's upgraded Counterpoint amps and an upgraded counterpoint sa-11 preamp.

Just curious if anyone owns, has listened to, or has heard reviews about Mike's new venture, Aria LTD. The amps look pretty exciting. any comments?

www.altavistaaudio.com - see link to Aria from there if curious.

Thanks for the reviews, guys. Dfarmer, I was only curious, not looking to buy right now. I'm pretty darn happy with the sound of the np220's. And I agree about the B&W's. If Mike does demos (not sure) I actually will probably bring my SA-11 down there to have a listen (if he doesn't already use one) when I get the next upgrade to it because i'm sorta near his shop and don't like shipping this monster.
B&W's don't kill the music. Their accuracy and transparency is obviously something you don't like. In my experience, B&W's act as a window for the sound of your components.
Kevziek,

Nothing agaisnt B&W. I said it's the 'combination' of krell and B&W I don't
care for. Krell sounds better without B&W, and B&W sounds better
without krell to my ears.

BTW, how do you know what 'accuracy' is?
ditto on the B&W comment; i was referring to them used with krell but of course that's a general statement based on what i've heard demo'd and depends on the rest of the gear.
