Lab 12/Qualiton Comparison

I'm considering for purchase the following two integrated amps:  Lab 12 integre 4 and Audio Hungary Qualiton A20i.  I'm confident that each will perform well in my small (12' x 15') listening room when combined with the - not too difficult to drive - ProAc Tablettes and a Lumin T2.  But I would love to hear thoughts/comments from anyone that may have compared these two amps, or have heard either one independent of the other.  My priorities include rich tonality, soundstage depth, and articulate bass.

I listened to the Pre 1 and Suara amp when I auditioned my DAC 1 Reference 

It is great sounding gear .    I love the sound of that DAC , it has great tone. 

The Integrated was on static display, I picked it up out of curiosity and it's hefty.  

You. should try to audition one in home.

Both are great choices. You need to do a home audition though.

I agree with your advice, recklesskelly.  In an ideal world I would arrange a home audition - something that is easier said than done.

If in US , contact Fidelis AV in Nashua. They have a retail store plus they are the US distributor for LAB 12. They can help you out.

The guys at LAB 12 know how to voice their gear. It sounds great.
