PMC Fact 3 with hegel h160 or accuphase 350

Goodmorning,
i use pmc fact 3 with hegel h160
the result is quite good, but sometimes the sound is too precise and little emotional.
I would like change it with a accuphase 350 
is it a good couple with my pmc fact 3?

Although I haven't heard it I'm sure the Accuphase would be great and unless your room is huge and open 100 quality watts should be fine.

Two other amps to consider would the Marantz PM11S3 and the Yamaha A-S2100. They, along with the Accuphase have a reputation of being a bit warmer and smoother with a big full sound. Musical Fidelity also has a fuller warmer signature. Good luck.

Cheers,

Scott

I would suggest a Bryston 4BSST and a tube preamp.

I have PMC PB1i and use Joule Electra + Bryston. Musical Fidelity is a good suggestion (I have TriVista hybrid integrated too). I would also consider Plinius.

You wouldn't be asking this question had you heard the Accuphase. I would suggest making that happen. Hegel is nice gear but the Accuphase is in a totally different league. (I owned the H200 and now own Accuphase E600).

Accuphase has an especially rich full mellifluous tone that the Hegel does not.  Hegel leans in that direction but isn't close. If you like a more analytical sound that is not a bad thing.
