Need your thoughts - LTA 40+ vs Pathos Inpol Integrated amp on 98db speakers.

I owned a Pathos Inpol 2 and they are wonderful. That Unison is not even in the same league as the Inpol 2. Sorry you are well intended but it is not even close. 

@brm1 I gave it to one of my sons when he graduated from college and he went off to Grad School. Still in the family and listened to everyday. We made some great memories listening to jazz when he was home for the summers and I thought it was a great idea. Oh I also bought him a car.

He has a 100 year old house in South Bend and the system looks great in his living room with my my DeVore 0/96 speakers.

@brm1 I replaced it with a Qualiton X200 from AH and QLN Sonora's at the time. Now the QLN's are in my game room and Sonner Legato Unum's are in my listening room with the X200.  

LTA is very nice gear also. 

You really need to listen to both of them. I prefer Tubes over a hybrid and the the Inpol is a pure class A sound with some tube warmth or coloration. Most other hybrids are A/B and sound nice bit miss with me. 

Honestly I was looking at the Z40 + and managed a in home demo of X200 and the rest is history. Not saying it is the end all be all it just flat out works in my room and with Legato Unum's it is magic. 

I have a friend with the Z40 + paired with the F&R Raven speakers and it is heavenly also.  We enjoy spinning Jazz records and drinking tea. 

I probably just confused you even more.....

Wow @soix that is tuff one as the Legatos seem to be every bit as good as the Sonora's. Where the QLN edges out is in bass and bass extension as it is floor stander.

The mid bass in the Legato Unum and wins in detail with it's point-to-point wired fourth-order Linkwitz-Riley crossover.

It really is a toss up. I just love stand mounts.
