accuphase a36 vs p4500

hello,

juts wondering if anyone has compared these 2 amps, or had some thought on their sound/performance.  ii'm considering them as a new amp with tannoy kensingtons.  i'm into rock music, but i don't listen real loud or need a lot of slam.....

and yes i'm only interested in accuphase

May I know what preamp you’re going to be pairing with Accuphase?

Consider Accuphase E-800 and call it a day!

@gwng8 A-48 + C-2450 is excellent match!

C-2450 pre has excellent earphone amplifier as a feature “for free”! :-) I am using Accuphase C-2450 pre to drive Sony MDRZ1R EP. Compared it it to other counterparts, Accuphase wins hands down on sound stage, and has useful tone control options. 

I added to my C-2450 pre optional AD-2850 phono stage. Accuphase phono stage makes vinyl tunes warmer and more realistic/analog than SACD! So far checked it with AT-ART9, AT-ART7, AT-ML170, AT-150MLX, AT20 cartridges, no complains!
