I heard the AG trio G3 s with I tron and tubes.
I think itron is more precise to the recording.
Tubes romantisize a bit but are not rhe last word in accuracy.
If i would go all out in spending the AG trios G3 are definitely an option
I was probably there when you were there (Buren?) and I get you. Felt the same at the time. Came to appreciate a tube amp more when I bought my Mezzos. But could probably live with both kinds amplifications. One thing no one can deny: Avantgarde really pushes the envelope when it comes to innovation
