accuphase a36 vs p4500

hello,

juts wondering if anyone has compared these 2 amps, or had some thought on their sound/performance.  ii'm considering them as a new amp with tannoy kensingtons.  i'm into rock music, but i don't listen real loud or need a lot of slam.....

and yes i'm only interested in accuphase

Accuphase, in my experience offers impeccable synergy with Tannoy Prestige Series speakers. I have compared Accuphase E-650 with two of the very finest Integrated’s currently available (DarTZeel CTH-8550 and T+A PA 3100 HV) in my system and end up preferring the E-650’s slightly warm exquisite sound. I own Canterbury GR and E-650 (Class A- 30W) have no trouble driving the 15” woofer with aplomb.

I haven’t heard your current amplifier and speaker pairing but it is not difficult to imagine that it sounds exceptionally well.

Exactly! I didn’t think Accuphase or any other SS Integrated could possibly measure up to my previous setup of a Bespoke 300B amp and Shindo Monsbrison preamp :-)
