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.
accuphase’s house sound is best described as more reserved, refined, subtle, natural, with less overt treble and deep bass emphasis... more about making the midrange be the magic... there is sufficient detail, sparkle and air but it is presented in a very non-aggressive unobtrusive way not the best to impress your hifi friends for a short audition, but excellent for long term ownership and hours of engaging listening... in short, it is more the girl you marry, not one you pick up for a fling... |
@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. |
