Accuphase E380

I am currently retired in southern Thailand. I’m am in the process of building a system for my home here. Not much hi end selection around. I live about an hour north of the Malaysian border so no auditions unless I fly to Bangkok or Singapore. I’ve heard good things about Accuphase. I’m looking for recommendations as I’ve never heard one. The route I want to go is bookshelf’s with a sub or two. Previously I’ve had Mcintosh, Krell and anthem. As far as speakers I’m used to B&W, Paradigm and Revel. How has your experience been? Clarity? Neutral? Warm? I don’t have any specs on the room; it has not been built yet  but I’m thinking around 20x40ft high ceiling and it will be treated  

 Thanks. Discopete.

@lalitk  what are your thoughts? I’m going to see Guns and Roses next month in Bangkok. So I will have a day or two to audition some gear. I’m just not real familiar with the products here as opposed to the US. I’m scaling down and the wife has to be happy too! Also i am not used to 220/240 power. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The ceiling height will be around 12 to 14 feet.

The dealer also carries BAT. I have zero experience with them.

I must say that I listen almost anything. But I am a metal/deadhead from the west coast. I do like loud. Upwards of 92 to 95 db. But I will also relax to some good classical or jazz at lower levels. My system will be strictly digital at this point. Thank you.

I appreciate all of the insight gentleman. As I’m sure you most can understand. I have the bug. I’m overwhelmed and thrilled with being able to build a new system. I understand synergy and the importance of the way different components work together. I just really have the itch to do something I’ve never thought of or tried. I’ve heard great things about the Gryphon 300. Although I’ve actually never listened to one. It’s a love/hate hobby. I love it. My max budget is 25k. I’m open to all idea’s. I’d like to hear your thoughts. Thank you

Pete
