bwhite: at the risk of repetition repetition: the accuphase a-50v, even at its rated output of 50w/ channel into 8 ohms, will outperform amps at 4-5 times its rated output (per ftc rule), including , IMO, the whole of the accuphase p series. slagleti is right on the mark in noting the tube-like musicality of the a-50v, without noise, high heat or retubing. in my experience, the only other amps that come close to, or match, such performance are the jrdg 8ti and the boulder 2060. -cfb
