High End Amp Choice: Boulder or Viola?


I'm looking to replace my amps with either Boulder 1050 monos or Viola Symphonies to be used with Wilson Audio Maxx2's.

What do you thinkI know about Boulders but don't have much info on how Violas perform. How will they compare with Boulders? Did anyone have chance to listen to both of these amps?

Thanks

Razan, how do you know they are 'Much Better'? Did you try/listen both brands with similar setups?
Muratc,Yès for my system the Viola work much Better, the last year, I used the Boulder, I sold them.
i've heard the boulder equipment on a couple of occassions and i think that they look great but don't sound great, especially for the money.
Simply put the Boulder amps are wonderful, I own the 1050's with the 1010 preamp. My setup include the Wilson Maxx 2's and MIT Oracle V1.1 speaker cables, TNT HRX turntable and the BAT VK10SE phono pre with a Reimyo cdp-777 as dig front end. If you want to get the most out of your X2's i highly recommend the Boulders. Read Jeff Fritz's review of the Boulder 1010 pre and 1060 stereo amp at www.ultraaudio.com he also owns the Wilson Alexandria's and says he has heard nothing better when it comes to driving them.

Good Luck with your choice!
