@edwinf - Hi! I'm so sorry for the delay in my reply. Once I got home I was crushed with work.
I, for the life of me, can't seem to figure out how to send you a private message.
I'll try to diplomatically communicate what I'd wanted to share.
As noted, I have a 100 Watt Qualiton tube amp. It's worked great and the sound is fantastic. Previously, I did have an older model preamp from them which had to be replaced. Qualiton was super helpful and committed to helping me. Can't give them enough credit. They are great!!!!
That said, there is no USA-based repair center, so any repair/maintenance is a little more problematic than ideally desired. It's a minor side point, but something worth considering.
The LTA team is based in the USA and would be more available for support, etc.
In the end, you can't go wrong with either brand. But the repair side of things is something to think about...
Audio Hungaray Qualiton A50i vs LTA Z40+ Integrated
I need help deciding between the Audio Hungaray Qualiton A50i and the LTA Z40+ Integrated Amp. Both seem to be great but I can get the Hungarian for 1k cheaper. I will be using them strictly for music. I plan on powering a pair of Focal Aria 936 K2's and a sealed sub, maybe two. Like everyone else here, I am looking for the best sound quality possible. Thanks

@edwinf - Let us know what you've landed on. Want to hear what direction you've taken and your impressions of new speakers and amp! |
