A49 Arcam
I am happy to read that you are please with Arcam gear Jeff. However, that does not answer the OP's question and neither does it put Arcam in the same league with the big hi-end companies. 
Accuphase Power Amps
Hi Dave, we do not know his/her speakers and listening habits. The P-4200 may be overkill.When it comes to choosing between Accuphase class A and A/B amps the situation is quite simple. While the class A amps sound a bit better than the class A/B ... 
A49 Arcam
I used to own an Arcam A-28 and an Accuphase rig (A-45 amp and C-2410 pre) at the same time. I have used the Arcam (together with a set of Dynaudio Audience monitors and a Rel Quake subwoofer) in the living room for TV watching, while the Accuphas... 
Accuphase Power Amps
It depends on the speakers you have and how loud you like to listen to music. What speakers do you have? 
Gryphon vs. McIntosh
I have spent 3-4 hours by myself with a full Gryphon system (i.e. Mirage pre-amp, Colosseum stereo power amp, and the Trident speakers) in a room with which I am rather familiar. The sound was good, but certainly not worth the asking price, i.e. I... 
Preamp with Tone Control Recommendations ....
Accuphase: C-2420, C-2820 or C-3800. 
Luxman vs. Accuphase
Dave, I have answered your question in a PM. Bvdiman, it is funny to see how some products receive awards the moment they are released...Jriggy, the few times I have listen to Luxman electronics they give me the impression they do not sound as ful... 
Luxman vs. Accuphase
Hi Jriggy, A few years back a dealer in The Netherlands ( AudioLife ) has organised an Accuphase vs. Luxmann show. Unfortunately, I could not go. You might want to call them. They are very friendly and if you explain them the situation they might ... 
Where do you go after a Dynaudio C1 ?
Xti16, congratulations for your new speakers! I am certainly not surprised to hear the Raidho D1s are better than the Dynaudio C1s signatures. While I am sure this move is a very happy one for you, it is a bit of a sad moment for the audiogon-ers.... 
Dynaudio C1 MK1 advantages over MK2/Signature
Price. In Europe a 2nd hand pair of mk1 often costs less than half the price of a new pair of mk2s. 
B&W design quality observation. Any downside
The first times I have cross paths with Bo on this forum I have tried to reason with him, but as you all here know, trying to have a dialog with him is like trying to have a dialog with a talking parrot. Over time I grew tired with him trashing on... 
Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution?
Springbok10, I agree 100 percent with your first post here. That is why I have asked in my first post here how does one alert the moderators about this guy. 
$9000 speaker Orangutan or speaker + amplifier
I will add that the sensitivity of our ears and in particular the range of intensities that they are capable of detecting (i.e. their dynamic range) is much more impressive than their ability to detect 10 octaves. The dynamic range of the human ea... 
Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution?
Paraneer, IMO the brand that Bo is trashing the most is Wilson. Apparently, they are not good for the typical Dutch house and Wilson Audio is not informing the people about this. =))Regarding your commentKeep them coming Bo because I can't stop la... 
Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution?
Ok here is the second part of my write-up:To realize why room correction softwares yields a superior soundstage it is important to realize that:On one hand, one does not want to excite room modes as that will lead to nasty bass resonances and null...
