Absolutely agree. I still have my Kondo Japan pre and power amps. Beautifully made and they sound great -- but the DarTZeel is better sounding in every way. Every way.
Yes I have friends with Kondo-one a Neiro and the other an Ongaku.
The Neiro is just not very good-just not a balanced sound with an emphasised midrange and very rolled off treble.The Ongaku is very good but the owner has never been able to find the right speaker match and is still hunting after 15 years!
I have not directly compared the Dartzeel and the Neiro but feel sure it would sound much better on his Avantegarde horns.I have compared my Bakoon amp and the Neiro and in my opinion that was far better-great actually .But the Bakoons do not have the bass authority of the Dartzeel .

I think they would probably fit the Diesis horns great depending on your musical taste. The wattage on the dart amp is where I think the Diesis shine for more modern music and the midrange should come through amazingly

I didn't hear the 108, but I did try both integrateds (LHC-208 and CTH-8550) on Avantgarde horns. Dead quiet, and punchy/dynamic as all get out. Some folks actually preferred them to the tube amps we had at hand, that we usually paired with the AGs.
I actually use Dart CTH 8550 with Avantgarde Duo Mezzo. Fantastic pairing!

Another great combination with the darTZeel electronics are the Vivid Audio Speakers. Specifically, the Giya series. The G1 Spirit speakers will bring the best out of your electronics!
