Accuphase amplifier choice
Hello All,
I have decided to upgrade my Parasound A21 amplifier looking for a more refined sound. The following are the amplifiers that I have in my mind:
Accuphase A-48s
Accuphase P-4600
Coda No. 8 (meterless)
Coda 16.0 (meterless)
Currently I am leaning largely to Accuphase. My dealer says that the Class A 48s will sound better with my ProAc D48R. But I am worried that I will lose dynamics since the Accuphase is only 50W into 8 Ohms. But it doubles all the way into 1 ohm.
The P-4600 is a higher wattage amp and I think it should be able to drive the D48R with ease because it doubles down to 2 ohm load. So I am not concerned with it's ability to drive the ProAcs.
I do have some feedback on the P-4600 from another thread here and appreciate it. But now looking for some comparisons.
Has anyone compared/experienced the Accuphase Vs Coda amplifiers? Any feedback is appreciated.
You NAILED it @toronto416 . Such is the case with me because I generally keep my equipment for a long long time. Last speakers were with me for 12 years. Current amp for 15 years. Want to make sure that the hard-earned money is spent well and there should be no regrets afterwards. |
I love the meters and the led output also gives a digital number. In talking with a technician that fixes all amplifiers he seldome works on acciphases and showed me the internals. He just thinks the biuld quality is at the top. I have the m 1000 amps and even though they are old they run fantastic. I agree if you can find a dealer to let you try it at home great. Enjoy the hunt. |
“I am worried that the same might apply to my speakers” I believe my last post pretty much laid out your best course. I have an idea…let’s chat over PM. |
