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
Although I had been using only tube amps from 2000 to 2022, I got impressed with Starkrimson monoblocks which cost around 2k$ wtih Gan updated supply.
I still keep five tube amps including Silbatone 300b SET.
It is also pleasure to use it during summertime since it generate little heat.
Compared with Line Magnetic 508 amp fitted with vintage tubes, this little guy come very close if not better in clarity and overall musicality.
if you get this, yoiu can have money for tube pre amp.

If you care about the cost, Willsenton R800i could be better choice.

There is a detailed thread about tube rolling of it.
https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/willsenton-r8-and-r800i-805-or-845-news-and-views.1107931/ if Focal sounds bright, you can tune the sound through tube rolling. Thomas |
