I did much of my auditioning with the Voxativ Ampeggio 2024 speakers. The Ampeggios and the AVM Evolution AS 5.3 share similar sonic attributes to produce too much of a good thing. The DeVore Super Nines brought something new to the party: extra warmth, weight, and humanity—a better match. The result was sound that, while less detailed, crisp, and incisive, was warmer and more human. Which colored my earlier observations.The AVM Evolution AS 5.3 Streaming Amplifier packs an exceptional phono stage—not as good as my Manley, but good. It has plenty of power, a well-designed, usable app, and it works as well with analog sources as with digital. It all fits into a relatively lightweight package. If its feature set, performance, and price match your needs, give the AS 5.3 a serious listen. But choose speakers carefully.
