JM Lab Utopia Speaker Inspection with Vitus Audio SS-010 Power AMP

This is my first YouTube Video ever. Here is a video of my HI-FI system. I am using JM Lab Utopia Speakers and Vitus SS-010 25W Class A Power AMP to drive it. I use to have a Jadis JA500 Tube Mono blocks, but recently change to Vitus SS-010. I found that the Vitus solid state AMP sound as warm as tube amp, with tight bottom end. It is truly an amazing product. It was the best purchase I've ever made for my HI-FI period!

It is recorded using a Sony DSC-TX1, while playing Dina Krall - A case of you - Live in Paris album. Thank you for watching.

Great system! Love the speakers. Trying to get a pair of focals myself, a much lower model than yours. any idea where to start weerlor?

@mangolovin I found if you have a good amplifer will bring out the best in your speaker. I found VITUS amplifer are simply the best, period. I've previously own Mark Levinson, Krell, Jeff Rowland and mono blocks Jadis (JA-500). In the end my little SS010 25W Class A, by far outperform all my pervious amplifers. I will shortly post another video with the same setup and using my old Revel Gen Ultima bookshelf speakers. Thank you for watching.

Thank you weerlor. Currently using the Krell S300i and a Oppo 95, trying to maybe use a pair of focals in the future. Not sure exactly which model but definitely under 5k. Andy of the focal speakers you've heard kind of worth getting in this budget? or do you prefer another type of speaker brand?

Thanks for the advice on using Vitus. Still a little out of budget for me. (small wallet) I will check out Vitus when money permits. =)

@mangolovin I head that Vitus also released RI-100 which is more affordiable. Krell is generally a bright sounding amplifer, and focal speaker is also a bit bright in my opinon (I like warm sound). If your budget is around 5K, try to get your hand on a used Revel Gen Ultima, I purchase mine for $7.5K about 2 years ago used. Now it should be in your budget. I like it so much I once owned 2 pairs. I once compared it to a Focal Alto, in my opinon the Revel is a much better speaker.

Breathtaking track choice on a breathtaking system. The quiet of the piano and dark chocolate voice that Krall has.... goosebumps even through the window of the camcorder.

Your video made my friday start with a smile. Thank you!

@binkleybloom Thank you for your comments.

Congrats on your beautiful system, the sound is crystal clear but a tad bright. I am a big fan of Wilson speakers and the Cannalis Allegra 2.0 (formerly Sonics by Joachim Gerhard). I will definitely trial some Vitus Amps. Enjoy.
