Onkyo A-50 vs Buckeye Purifi 1ET6525SA

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

Enjoy!

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...

Just wanted to let you know i ordered the Onkyo P-80 and M-80 today. I'll let you know my thoughts when I get it and hook it up.

I tried the P80 from Crutchfield. I liked it, but I found a Buchardt I 150 used from the music room (TMR) which I like better as a preamp. Ended up sending the Onkyo back. I found the P 80 a little bright up top with less bass resolution than the Buchardt. These two units were on my shortlist because I run dual subs which I integrate with my custom built towers. If you’re looking to save money, I would peruse the options on TMR. You’ll get a lot of bang for your buck. My plan is to run the Buchardt using its internal amp until Galion releases its class d amps. I traded in a McIntosh MA5300 to TMR to finance my purchase, which gives you an idea of how much I liked the unit. Just a side note: unless you plan on using bass management control to roll off your main speakers into your subs I think you can get a better sounding preamp than the P 80. In person, the P80 does look stunning.
