| Accuphase E550 or E560? IMO Cosmin's statements above are not quite true, i.e. E-560 and E-550 are not completely different integrated amplifiers. Like all new Accuphase amplifiers, the E-560 is built on what Accuphase calls instrumentation amplifier principle. In theory... | |
| Musical Fidelity A5, Simaudio I-5 or Krell s300i Some years ago I have spent a few hours in a dealer room comparing the Musical Fidelity A5 and A308 integrated amps. The speakers used were Focal Electra 1027 Be, the CD player was the Musical Fidelity A5. Even though on paper the A308 seems bette... | |
| Amp to match Avantgarde Uno G2 horn speakers A few months back I went to an Avantgarde demo show in The Netherlands. The dealer choice for amplification was Audio Note, but he was very nice and switched (at my request) the Audio Note for Accuphase, i.e. the E-560 class A integrated (30 watts... | |
| Suggestions please: upgrade from Dynaudio S1.4 Because of the power limitations of the E-530 amp and because of the large dynamic variation in classical music I would not recommend you to get the S5.4s. Firstly, the amp will work much harder and therefore will get much hotter when driving the ... | |
| Best amp for Dynaudio Confidence 1 or Contour 1.4? I second Miker's suggestion. IMO Musical Fidelity and Dynaudio is a very good combination. I have tried the S1.4 speakers with quite a few amps (at the same time in the same room), e.g. NAD M3, Marantz PM-15, Cyrus separates, Primare, and Musical ... | |
| Martin Logans Sorry for my bad English. I meant to write "the combination sounded too thin and fatigue". | |
| Martin Logans I have listen to Martin Logan Summit X driven by a Bryston combo, i.e. BP-25 pre and 4BSST amp. The Summit surely liked the power of the Bryston and threw a huge soundstage and lots of details. But after approximately 30 minutes my ears started to... | |
| Accuphase E-460 or Bryston BP26 / 4Bsst2 Hi Kiza,About a year and a half ago, I have listen extensively to the Bryston BP25/4BSST combo (driving Dali Helicon speakers) and also to quite a few Accuphase integrated, i.e E-408, E-350, E-450, E-550 (driving the Focal Micro Utopia Be speakers... | |
| Accuphase Class A or A/B speaker match Dynaudio C1 It seems I was mistaken in my previous post. Here in Europe the Emitter 2 retails at around 13 thousands euros. That is a bit less than the retail price of the entry level Accuphase separates, i.e. P-4100 and C-2110, which retail at 13900 euros. W... | |
| Accuphase Class A or A/B speaker match Dynaudio C1 Okocza, price-wise the ASR Emitter II integrated is in the same class with the Accuphase separates, e.g. P7100 power amp & C-2410 pre amp. That is 3-4 times more expensive that the Accuphase integrated considered by Royearnest. | |
| Focal Utopia monitors: Diablo vs. Micro Be Elviukai, my last answer to you regarding the output of my Accuphase E-550 amp into the Focal Micro Be speakers was too intransigent. Sorry, you seem to be knowledgeable in this regard. Please read further for clarifications. Of course, the concep... | |
| Amp s choices to match with Wilson Sophias ? In the Netherands and Belgium Wilson speakers are often demoed using Ayre electronics. To me the Wilson-Ayre combination always sounded good. However, this is certainly not the only good combination. About two years ago I almost bought a pair of W... | |
| Accuphase Class A or A/B speaker match Dynaudio C1 Roy, you should not think at future changes before actually having bought the whole system, viz. "the E-550 may? Limit the range/scope of future speakers". Since you plan to buy top of the line integrated and speakers (it is not clear to me whethe... | |
| Accuphase Excellent products. They may seem pricey, but given their top notch sound, build quality and reliability they aren't. | |
| Looking for audiophile friends in Belgium Hi Blueskywalker,Where in Belgium are you living? I live in Antwerp. Send me a PM message maybe we get together sometime. I am always in the mood for a hi-fi audition/talk.Best wishes,Paul |
