Hello again, Gryphon!Thanks Vidar, I was wondering about the Thor mk2 also, so your findings really helps me out here, Vidar where did you go from the Xenon ? I heard the Harbeths 30.1 a few months ago with the Bladelius digital integrated, the sound was different, but I left the store more confused than clever ;-)
I changed the whole system after the disaster with Bladelius an Amphion Xenon. (can`t remember with what, I change gear (too) often, also some years have passed...)
I wasn`t scared away from Amphions, though, have since had Argon 3 and 3L + Helium 520.
The big difference from Xenon and the other (and later) Amphions (except from superior bass depth from the Xenons) is am more harmonic and better integrated treble.
Xenon`s treble is notably more brash and harsh with the wrong amplifiers (Bladelius and others) and cables.
If your intention is to keep the Xenons i would recommend amplifiers from Marantz (S-11mk3, especially)
Hegel amplifiers works great with Amphions (something you perhaps wouldn`t expect) Peachtree hybrid amplifiers are also known to be a great match with Amphions.
Audiophile greetings from bergen,
Vidar W. ;-)
