it was sold in the u.s., and is an excellent integrated.
Accuphase E-211? Any good? Sold in the US?
I'm looking for more info on the Accuphase E-211 integrated and was wondering if anyone has heard one. It's a 90w@8ohm, 115w@4ohm integrated amp.
I heard one over the weekend and thought it sounded quite nice in a friends system. He now asked if I would like to buy it, the price seems reasonable but not a give away deal.
I have been trying to find more info on it but there's not much to be found except on Audioreview with mixed reviews, the typical it's very good and the not so good. Overall a lot of people like it and it did sound very musical and quite surprisingly powered some power hungary monitors. We compared it (A/B) to a Musical Fidelity A5.5 and the Accuphase beat it overall but it had less authority and slam compared to the A5.5. The Accuphase had a better presentation.
Was this model ever sold in the States in a 120v version? Just wondering if it could be a grey market item and how I would be able to identify that? There seems to be very few of them in the States.
Thanks,
Crad
