Octave V70SE vs Qualiton X200

Anyone experience comparing both amps? Currently have the Qualiton X200 on audition and really very impressed. The Octave has gotten really good reviews as well, but from what I’ve read it’s pretty neutral sounding. I’m looking for a warmer sound but still resolving which is why I chose to demo the X200 first. It hasn’t disappointed thus far. Pricing is close, Octave is a bit more but not far away from the X200. This is subjective but looks wise I prefer the X200. Reminds me of my Dads old Hifi setup. Thanks in advance.

Congratulations! Audio Hungary is making some phenomenal stuff at very reasonable prices (relatively speaking, of course). I'm seriously considering buying an a20i for my home office system.

Enjoy the music!

@jerryg123 -- A good friend is also running QLN 3s with Qualition a50i. According to him, it is one of the best combinations he's ever heard, and this guy knows his audio ... has had tens of different systems over the years. I would love to hear your experience with this particular combo when you get a chance.

@arafiq Thanks! Funny you should mention QLN because the Qualiton dealer carries QLN and I'm told they match really well. I've heard the Prestige 3's at a buddies place although with different amplification and they sounded really good. If I had deeper pockets I'd audition them in a heartbeat.
