Accuphase Class A or A/B speaker match Dynaudio C1


I am looking for any help in making a decision on an Accuphase integrated to run my Dynaudio C1's. My concern is the low output of the class A vs. the A/B. Will the class A do the job, in a relatively large room? My listening preference is jazz.

Thanks.

I have a C2 Signature and i had the chance of listening the Accuphase E 460 in my room and, frankly
speaking, I had not a good impression. At first I thought it could beat in every aspects my current
Rega Osiris. On the contrary, it could not match the Osiris in any aspect..power, transparence,
details, soundstage..in everything the E 460 could not be my choice.
Actually, a friend of mine who brought the E 460 to my house in order to compare it to the
Osiris ( he was almost closing the purchase of the E 460 since it was much better than his BAT
integrated amplifier ) At the end, He bought the Rega Osiris.
I know that it can be really difficult to think that the Osiris sounds better in all aspects
compared to Accuphase E 460 which is considered by most one of the best integrated amplifiers
already made and , please, I hope the Accuphase´s owners do not understand me wrong.....but it is a fact..at least in my room with the Dynaudios C2 Signature the Osiris sounded much better.
