Acurus A-150 v. Musical Fidelity X-150


I'm asking for the expert forum members' advice: Would I benefit, or actually degrade, if I used my Musical Fidelity X-150 as a preamp with an Acurus A-150 power amp, or should I leave the Musical Fidelity running as it's integrated self?
Thanks,

It depends on the rest of your system and matching. The X-150 has an odd sound with a pinched upper midrange but it is still pleasant to listen to. The Acurus is harsh and bright with a metallic, spitty top end. This works if your speakers are soft and lifeless but if they are detailed it will bite your head off.
