YBA DT integrated vs. Musical Fidelity A308


Any thoughts on the YBA vs. the A308?
Would be used with one of the following speakers:
Audio Physic Virgo III
Dynaudio Special 25
JM Labs Micro Utopia Be

At present I am leaning to the YBA, but mainly because it is smaller (I move a lot).

Also if anyone else has rec in the price range, let it be from the EU.

I have a feeling the 308 will be more expensive on the used market. I owned one and just recently sold it. I'm kicking myself for doing so. I needed to downgrade to, so I went with an A3. I do know that if you go with the Audio Physic Virgos, the A308 will be a great choice. Musical Fidelity and Audio Physic have great synergy together. I owned the virgos for a while, and heard the version 3 with the 308 at a dealer. Since the virgos are 4 ohms, you will be pushing 300 watts to them with the 308. I would probably place the 308 with the Dynaudios as well, just because they need a lot of power to really come alive, or atleast I'm told. With the Jm Labs, I would definitely go with the YBA amplifier. JM labs and YBA go together like AP and Musical Fidelity go together. I heard the YBA with some Elektra 926's and was very impressed. Hope this helps.
