051 vs 082
Has anyone compared the two or auditioned either of them? These along with the Audio Research are on my short list. Hopefully I'll be able to make it to Dubai to do a demo but I'm not sure if that's going to be able to happen. Any thoughts or sage advice would be much appreciated.

Hi Matt_Zak,
I auditioned both amps. Both sounded wonderful. Even the small 051 did a good job with quite big speakers. I bought the 082 simply because you have more than double the weight for just 3000 euros more I found the soundstage of the 082 a bit wider in the room, and the silence was blacker. And it can send more current into the speakers of course. I heard it with the Vivid G1Giya's, and it had no problem at all to drive them to high volumes. Good luck! Bart
