Finally heard Accuphase


I heard it at T.H.E. Show last weekend.

I was pretty shocked at how bad they were. Of course there are many variables at a show, but they were in more than one room. The sound was so wishy-washy and vague and uninvolving I couldn't get past it.

And I was hearing stacks of like $50k ,75k worth. A $3k Sugden sounds about the same, if memory serves. Or even the $8k Yamaha. More or less. But to spend that money on these amps makes no sense. Just build your own tube amp for $1500.

Whats going on with this brand?

To be fair, I also heard a $300k system that sounded more or less like a good PA system at a small concert venue that costs like, IDK $10k or something. This stuff is making no sense anymore.

Piega and Accuphase at THE Show 2025

I can’t bare to listen this system for a moment. At beginning AJ and people’s voices are great. So, mic works fine. Then AJ went into the room and I hear thick veiled and glare sounds which makes me a headache and blur vision. I admire people staying in the room.

ATC at THE Show 2025

This ATC sounds much better to me.  Alex/WTA
