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.

Based on what you have owned, the pairing of Tannoy (especially the Prestige series) + Accuphase would offer a sublime experience.

“But I am a metal/deadhead from the west coast. I do like loud. Upwards of 92 to 95 db.”

Given your propensity for ear deafening listening levels, I don’t think Tannoy or Accuphase would be a wise choice!

Given the limited availability, I recommend lining up audition with dealers in Bangkok. You should hear few systems and decide which system or a component floats your boat. I would steer clear of boutique brands, a reputed well established dealer should afford you a wide range of brands from Europe, US and Japan. If you’re downsizing, Integrated from Gryphon ~ Diablo 300 comes to mind.
