I was fortunate enough to hear a Thorens Reference with a SME V arm and Mantis - a totally mindblowing experience - wish I can hear it again - perhaps with a Whisper...
He also advertised them on Cape Town Gumtree.
He sent me the exact mail wrt the Krells.
Also - Google for Borris Praf - he seems to be selling stuff in England as well ( http://zli.st/854raZ/ ) - same e-mail address.
Hi Big G,
I just use Tritons in my system - nothing that I have tried comes close - not even the Cardas Golden Cross.
You (and AVSA) just have to hear them.
Enjoy your amp - it is a keeper.

Analogos,
My Whisper (although it is a first generation one) and the Mantis do sound awesome together - I have no urge to upgrade on the vinyl side of things anymore. :)
The wait is worth it.
