While I don’t have any experience with the Aavik integrated line, I do have a Aavik C-150 pre and a Aavik P-300 amp. I will be replacing the C-150 with a C-380 in the next month. To me the sound the Aavik‘s produce is magical. I’m fortunate enough to live in an area with a number of dealers offering very high end gear. The Aavik’s are right up there with the very best I have ever heard.
