Accuphase Vs Parasound
Hi guys! I’m considering purchasing a used E-560 for USD 4000 to drive my Elac Adante AS-61 (85dB) . Im quite new to this hobby, so I’m hoping to be able to get some advice from more experienced listeners here on this. Do share your thoughts. Thank you 🙏
Just some background, before I saw the E-560 on the used market, I was planning to go for Parasound Hint 6 or Parasound P6 pre and perhaps A21 / A21+ (that’s apparently coming out in a couple of months). Right now I’m just using a Yamaha Aventage rx-a1060 AVR so it’s not ideal for music listening.
at 85 db efficiency, you shouldn't consider any amplifier less than 100 watts into 8 ohms. You should also look at the impedance curve of your speakers and ask how well the amplifier performs at the lowest impedance of the speaker. The Anthem STR integrated amp is quite compelling at $4500, especially with its built in room correction capability for bass. The negative of course is if you already have a good preamp... the room correction option requires you to use their preamp section https://www.anthemav.com/products-current/model=str-integrated-amplifier/page=overview |
