accuphase a36 vs p4500

I am using in my setup A-48 and P-4500, P-4500 runs at lower temperature and requires less warm-up time, thus it used more often. Despite P-4500 is one the best sounding high-bias AB class amps, A-48 sounds “sweeter”, more contrast in Jazz/Opera/Classical soundtracks. A-36 probably will be close sounding to A-48, at lower power, but I think newer series A48/P4500/A75 have better fist stage amp session, with less noise/dist. etc, than A-36.

Accuphase, in my experience offers impeccable synergy with Tannoy Prestige Series speakers. I have compared Accuphase E-650 with two of the very finest Integrated’s currently available (DarTZeel CTH-8550 and T+A PA 3100 HV) in my system and end up preferring the E-650’s slightly warm exquisite sound. I own Canterbury GR and E-650 (Class A- 30W) have no trouble driving the 15” woofer with aplomb.

I haven’t heard your current amplifier and speaker pairing but it is not difficult to imagine that it sounds exceptionally well.
