Accuphase C2420 + A47

I have paired Accuphase P-4500 with C-2420, and found sound is absolutely warm, air-trasparent, and basses dense. I am using Accus to drive custom 3-way 8Ohm speakers, 30..25000 Hz, 89dB/m, and less than 1% distortion. New P-4500 design seems is very different beast, comparing to P-4200, much lower noise and better low tones. The best part of Accu-combo is a native PHONO in C2420, which makes Vinyl listening close to unplugged performance, blues and classical music specifically. Not sure if I should try Accuphase A-48 as well, any advice?

I had the C3800 & A65 combo for a few years pushing Dynaudio S25,s and finally found a Audio Research Ref 3 pre for a great price and felt the Ref3 offered better separation and 3d imaging that the 3800 just didn't have. 

I think you can find better preamps for far less than Accuphase. I love there amps but think the pre are not as good. Accuphase amps match very well with a great tube pre. and with your budget I think a Audio Research Ref 5se would sound spectacular with your A47 and dan 1.3.

Dear Mr, Tecknik,

Thanks a lot for your reply. Since I have not visit here for a period of time. So, I  bought a C2820 3 month ago.  My opinion is that  JP  amp. seems short of punch.
