Pass....Accuphase....or......

The A-300 is a beast....almost like the one I already have. The problem with these big expensive amps is that it is almost impossible to service them if they breake after the guaranty is gone. I don't have the money to send them around the world for service. The last problem with the ML was 3.000 USD. That's why I want a more "normal" amp.

I have owned Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation speakers since 2010 driven mostly by a Luxman L-509u integrated amp and more recently by a class A Luxman L-595A SE integrated amp which sounded lovely as did an Accuphase E-380 120W class A/B integrated amp.

Last year I had a chance to acquire a pair of Verity Audio Arindal speakers - one size up from the Parsifal but a little more sensitive at 93 dB (vs 89 dB for the Parsifal). I drove them for a short time with the L-595A which I replaced with an Accuphase A-48 amp and C-2900 preamp. What a wonderful combination! The Luxman L-595A was my introduction to class A amps, but the A-48 took everything to the next level.

Accuphase class A amps are legendary - from their integrated amps like the E-650, E-800 to separates such as the A-48, A-80 or A-300.

I would highly recommend pairing Verity Audio speakers with Accuphase or Luxman amps - but especially Accuphase.

Thanks toronto416! I think I can audition the A-48.

If you're in Europe, the Rotel Michi M8 monoblocks could be auditioned/buy used or new. It may be a better route to futureproofing as you can throw any and every speaker at it, i.e., when you move on from that Verity Audio someday.

Verity Audio are speakers for life!
