Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias
Washline, the P-7100 and the A-65 are Accuphase top of the line power amplifiers. I did not compared them, but form what others have reported except for the fact that the P-7100 has better control over large woofers there is not significant differ... 
Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias
Accuphase pairs very very well with Focal Utopia Be speakers. You do not need to go to their separates to best your current Musical Fidelity integrated and you have quite a few choices (e.g. even the old E-406 and E-407 integrated are supperior to... 
accuphase compare to mcintosh
Boy this got out of hand ... hopefully I will not make things worse.Firstly, we shall all agree that Accuphase vs. Mcintosh is like MAC vs. PC, i.e we have two camps that almost never agree. One should never disregard this and make bold statements... 
Speakers for Bryston
In no particular order I would recommend B&W speakers from the 800 series and also the Dynaudio Contour and Confidence lines (though some find the Bryston-Dynaudio a bit on the cold side).Dali Helicon and Euphonia lines might also be a good ma... 
Best preamplifier, amplifier for B&W 800 Diamond
My recommendation would be a pre-power combo from Accuphase, e.g. A-45 or A-65 power amps with either the C-2410 or the C-2810 preamplifier.About two months ago one of the local dealers organized a B&W-Accuphase show. In one of the rooms they ... 
Used Focal Alto Utopia or New Focal 1038BE
Hi Mark,I would choose the Altos as my opinion is that, contrary to what is advertised on internet, the new Electra line of Focal is inferior to the old Utopia line. The updated Be tweeter may be better than the previous model, but the old one was... 
Musical Fidelity M6-500i vs Kw - 500
Hi Steam3642,Maybe I should clarify my previous statements.I will start by saying that I like very much the MF KW500 and Nuvista M3 integratded and most likely when I will have the space for a second (large) system, I will buy one of these two int... 
Musical Fidelity M6-500i vs Kw - 500
Congratulation on the new KW-500 amp Stem3642! I believe you did the right thing choosing the KW-500 over the M6500i. IMO buying new MF products is a rip-off. On the other hand, 2nd hand MF units are probably the best bargains in hi-fi.What speake... 
Accuphase E550 or E560?
Last week I had the chance to compare the E-550 and E-560 amplifiers at a dealer (in a rather bad room). The speakers were Martin Logan Spire and the CD player was the Accuphase DP-510. I know Zszwedo has bought (sometime ago already) a Rega combo... 
Accuphase E550 or E560?
Hi Cosmin,Sorry for the late reply.I too find that Accuphase electronics and Focal speakers pair very well together. My speakers are Focal Micro Utopia Be (I also have a REL Stentor 3 subwoofer). Regarding, your question about my nationality, I am...

Pass Labs amps and Avantgarde speakers
Sorry for being a bit of topic but I hope you will not mind my little story.A few months ago I have attended an Avantgarde demonstration. I had about 1-1.5 hours till the shop was closing and my plan was to listen first the UNOs and then the DUO G... 
Accuphase p-650
Studio Alkmaar in the Netherlands had at some point a P-650 and a P-4100 for sell – both second hand models. If I remember correctly the old P-650 was 2000-2500 euros more expensive than P-4100 (which is still in production). Though, the P-4100 wa... 
Accuphase E550 or E560?
Dear Cosmin, There was an unfortunate typo in my previous post, i.e. I wrote "statements" (plural) instead of "statement" {singular}. I was disagreeing with you saying that E-560 is practically a different new amp. Indeed, Accuphase advertises the... 
Accuphase E550 or E560?
I noticed just now that my answer came quite late. Zszwedo has bought the Rega combo almost a month ago.Zszwedo/Cosmin what speaker do you have?Regards,Paul
