The V80Se almost doubles the power output from the v70’s 70 watts per channel. The S/N ratio and dynamic are nearly identical. If your speakers are efficient, then the V70 is a good option. If you feel the need to splurge, and don’t want to concern yourself about overdriving the V70 when playing really loud for extended periods, than the V80 would be the better choice IMO.
Octave v70se OR v80se
Hello Everyone!
I recently bought the amazing Dynaudio Contour 20 speakers and am about to purchase the Octave int amp. I have listened to the v70se but have also heard great things about the v80se model (have not heard v80se in person). So far this is the best integrated amp I have heard in this price range!
My question is should I get the v70se WITH a black box and call it a day OR just get the v80se? The price difference between v70se and v80se is pretty significant.
I have a 20x25 foot room and I listen to all kinds of music. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
