You are building your system like I am building mine. One piece at a time, when and where I can afford... I have an idea of where I would like to end up, but I have to compromise much along the way. If these two amps are local, maybe you can audition them? If it's a question of the lifetime amp, then I lean to the solid state. If there's some doubt about your desire to tinker, then I lean SS. If you listen to Rock more than Jazz or Classical, then I lean SS. There's no television in my house (other than the band) so if you listen a lot, or you don't have scheduled listening, or at higher volume, then SS, again. Good luck and enjoy the ride.
Prima Luna Vs Accupahse
I am looking to get out of my Arcam SA20 and upgrade soon. I have the opportunity to get a good deal on both a used Prima Luna Evo300 Hybrid and used Accuphase E-280. My main speakers for now are the Focal Aria 936K2 but plan on getting Tannoy’s later. Which one would yall say is the better amp. Thank yoi!
