Accuphase a-70 is a good option?

That's cool you did the comparison. I for one, appreciate this. The Accuphase A-70 is significantly higher in price so it should be the winner!

isn't this a ludicrous statement dave_72? you know in audio a high price rarely has anything to do with higher/better performance. Or, did you write this tongue-in-cheek?

Hahaha. Yes, tongue in cheek. I wasn't serious! :)

For what it's worth, I have no doubt the A-70 will power that system at moderate to loud levels without breaking a sweat.

I have heard Macintosh amps compared to Accuphase amps, but I don't think they're even in the same ballpark TBH. There is nothing an Accuphase A-class amp does not do superbly in my experience. And you should definitely go for one A-70 over two inferior bridged models.

Disclaimer: I own an Accuphase A-60. If I can save up enough money I plan on trading up within a year. My contacts at the stores here in Tokyo told me the A-65 represented minor improvements and was not worth trading up for, but that the A-70 is a significant step forward.

Sounds good, Russmonk. Thanks for the inside info.

hi Russmonk,

Have you heard of the A-200? I am interested in this amp. Also, what is your opinion regarding the A-200 versus the M-6200?

thank you
