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 bought a 6 month old LTA z40+ with NOS  Mullard and Gold Lion EL34 and did not care for the sound and sadly resold it in less than a month. It sounded very SS with hollow bass compared to my Raven Tube Amp.  The clarity, instrument separation and sound stage was stellar but my tube amp just had that full warm meaty sound  I prefer. Really shocked me but glad i gave it a try. To each his own! Good luck with it all. 

I will be using ifi Zen Bluetooth adapter for streaming music from my phone.

Ouch!  Why would you do this to either of these wonderful amps?  Tell me you’re streaming Spotify as well.  Ugh.

Soix,

I use Amazon Music HD and Tidal. Can you recommend a good afordable under 1k replacement for the Ifi Zen Adapter?

That was all I could afford at the time

Thank you
