Audio Hungaray Qualiton A50i vs LTA Z40+ Integrated

I need help deciding between the Audio Hungaray Qualiton A50i and the LTA Z40+ Integrated Amp. Both seem to be great but I can get the Hungarian for 1k cheaper. I will be using them strictly for music. I plan on powering a pair of Focal Aria 936 K2's and a sealed sub, maybe two. Like everyone else here, I am looking for the best sound quality possible. Thanks

" I will be using them strictly for music."

Is there a particular brand recommended for a coarse grind or fine dice?

If you’re looking more for a strictly neutral-sounding amp the LTA might be the better choice, but if you’d prefer just a bit of tube warmth the Qualiton is probably better.  This is just from reading reviews and feedback from owners so take this for whatever it’s worth, and best of luck.

I own a Qualiton 100 watt power amp. I also own a Linear Tube Audio preamp. Given the sensitivity and impedance of your speakers, either amp would work. Personally, I’d recommend the Linear Tube Audio integrated. The LTA equipment is amazing - lots of musical detail with a subtle tube tone. The Qualiton equipment is also great, but I’d still recommend the LTA first.
