Vitus audio?

Here is a review : http://www.stereotimes.com/amp011807.shtml

It all depends on your speakers, sources, tastes, personality, experience, room, goals, etc. Answering this sort of question is all hand waving.

Having said that, I really like Gryphon - beautiful sounding but has lots of authority too. MBL was super nice but you need to hear it with their speakers for the real enchilada. Haven't heard Vitus yet but they are popular in England especially. Hifi+ has reviewed a few of their components.

I find it hard to believe that the better Pass models,like the XA-160's,would not be completely in this league.Unless,of course,one is inclined to have expensive boutique stuff,which has been inflated by the U.S. dollar being weak in Europe.

I just reviewed the Vitus 101 Mono amps for Stereotimes.com Give it a read. Ultraaudio.com Jeff Fritz gave the integrated version a "Worlds best" and it has replaced his Boulder amps.

I owned the Gryphon Encore and while quite good, I think the Vitus has gone much further down the road. As for the earlier post wondering about the power issue, these things are beasts. I have a huge room 33x60x13 and have the Focus Master II and they rock very hard. I have had Krell, I have the Pass 350.5 and the Karan 450. The Pass 350.5 comes closest in the bass but the 100 watts of pure class A of the Vitus is just remarkable. Hope this helps. G

Greg,
What about SL100 preamp that you mentioned in your review?
What is your impression about it and when can we expect your review of that unit?
Thanks!
