I agree with your advice, recklesskelly. In an ideal world I would arrange a home audition - something that is easier said than done.
Lab 12/Qualiton Comparison
I'm considering for purchase the following two integrated amps: Lab 12 integre 4 and Audio Hungary Qualiton A20i. I'm confident that each will perform well in my small (12' x 15') listening room when combined with the - not too difficult to drive - ProAc Tablettes and a Lumin T2. But I would love to hear thoughts/comments from anyone that may have compared these two amps, or have heard either one independent of the other. My priorities include rich tonality, soundstage depth, and articulate bass.
