Best PRE AMPLIFIER / AMPLIFIER for DIVA UTOPIA

In need of your opinion or recommendation.
I am planning to get the Bel Canto Pre/Pro and the Ayre
V 5xe for my Jm Lab Diva Utopia.
Please let me know.
What do you think about this combo.
My goal is music and HT
Thanks

don't know about Bel Canto, but Ayre should be a good match wit Diva. I heard it at a dealer recently and liked it alot.

I have heard the Ayre amplifier it is good, but the Plinius Odeon is a far better match with the Diva's.

The Odeon is really warm and full bodied, quite frankly this is an amazing amplifier, one of my customers has the Diva's with the Anthem and a Cary Cinema Five and that combination also sounds really good. We did a side by side comparison with the Odeon and the Odeon is in another league.

The Bel Canto pre pro is very good sounding but discontinued. I would recommend you get a pre/pro from a company that is planning on a longer lifecycle.

I would go with the Anthem which sounds quite excellent and has incredible support and is upgradable.
