Onkyo A-50 vs Buckeye Purifi 1ET6525SA

My wife is in love with the looks of the A-50. I'm thinking I might be better off with the Stereo Purifi Amp and a Wiim Ultra as the preamp for now. More power, possibly more robust. We have a CD Player and a cheap Audio Technica turntable for now. Speakers are BMR Towers, 4-6 ohm and 85 DB. Listening distance is about 9 feet in a 14 by 14 by 8 foot room.

 

What are your thoughts on the Onkyo vs the Buckeye? Which set up would you go with?

This will be only for music at least for now. 

 

Appreciate your input. Thank you.

The narrowness was in reference to 30,000 dollar systems. I'm fine with that.

If you have BMR towers with RAAL, it shouldn't be not an issue anyway.

I do they are very wide. I'm getting the P-80 and M-80 combo. Hope it lasts.

I’ve always liked Onkyo stuff...still use their A-9555 (15 years old) integrated in secondary system, and Onkyo receivers in basement and garage, both 25 years old and all work flawlessly... was happy to see them return with a new set of products...
