Accuphase Experiences


In my search for a new amp I recently a look at Accuphase. I’ve watch numerous demonstration videos to get a sense of their sound characteristics and I find them very appealing especially when directly compared to Luxman and MacIntosh. They tend to be on the slightly warm side of neutral with a very life like beautiful mid range, a smooth extended treble and a tight but not overwhelming bass. In fact bass is the only region where they are a light but not by much and only in comparison to other amps that excel in this range. But the area they excel for me is soundstage. It’s very wide and depth is very good but not like tubes. Also instrument separation is excellent . The whole presentation appears real and expansive. I liked it so much I’m going to drive 90 minutes to a dealer that has several models to demo. Hopefully next week. I really want to hear the P-4600 amp and the e4000 integrated. 
 

So has anyone had any experiences with Accuphase?  I would love to hear you opinions and experiences.

Yes you are correct. Had my number wrong. Thought it was 10,000 

 You have to be patient when ordering 

Hello, I have two Accuphase systems.... In one I've paired an Accuphase E-470 with a pair of ATC HTS40's, and in the other an Accuphase E-5000 with a pair of Borresen z-3  Cryo's. Not only are both systems a true joy to listen to, but the beauty, versatility, and build quality of these components has simply left me totally satisfied. And being completely happy with the sound of these systems is truly difficulty to admit. It goes against the Audiophile Code to be happy and not aching to upgrade, eh?
