Now that I own the Vantages, my Bryston amp has become the weak link in my system. I have been auditioning some amps, and had the mis-fortune of trying out a 100 wpc Mark Levinson amp.
Levinson owners, please don't take this personally, but I found the Levinson sound slow and overly detailed. The midrange was a bit smoother than my Bryston, but was much slower, and for 2.5 x the cost? In fact, I am wondering how Levinson gets off charging the big bucks for their stuff, as I found no emotion conveyed in the music.
What expensive brands have you tried that you found disappointing?
