AMG V12 vs SME 20/12

Any thoughts or any one lucky enough to hear both?

Thanks in advance

I have heard the Bardo in two systems as well as the Brinkmann Balance. I preferred the Balance.

I should hope the Balance sounds better!

It depends on the implementation. So, I'm not certain everyone will prefer the sound of the Balance to the Bardo. I have read that the tubed power supply is an improvement, though.
