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.

i sold my Air Tight monoblocks and bought an Accuphase A-48S.  It is class A which means it can handle any load with ease.  I love it and recommend it.

Congratulations @schnabelita . How many hours on the Accuphase? Any comparison between the two, if you can?

Found a nice Japanese site that compares the different Accuphase amplifiers. Original site is in Japanese. But I used Google translate for English. When you load the link, it might ask for translation option:
