Accuphase a-70 is a good option?

I've heard both amps. It's definitely an upgrade from the Mac 601's, although in absolute wattage terms, the Mac wins. If low level detail, timbre, and microdynamics matter to you, the Accuphase A -70 is the clear victor

That's cool you did the comparison. I for one, appreciate this. The Accuphase A-70 is significantly higher in price so it should be the winner!

isn't this a ludicrous statement dave_72? you know in audio a high price rarely has anything to do with higher/better performance. Or, did you write this tongue-in-cheek?

Hahaha. Yes, tongue in cheek. I wasn't serious! :)

For what it's worth, I have no doubt the A-70 will power that system at moderate to loud levels without breaking a sweat.

I have heard Macintosh amps compared to Accuphase amps, but I don't think they're even in the same ballpark TBH. There is nothing an Accuphase A-class amp does not do superbly in my experience. And you should definitely go for one A-70 over two inferior bridged models.

Disclaimer: I own an Accuphase A-60. If I can save up enough money I plan on trading up within a year. My contacts at the stores here in Tokyo told me the A-65 represented minor improvements and was not worth trading up for, but that the A-70 is a significant step forward.
