Accuphase Class A or A/B???
So... Im gonna dip my toe in the Accuphase pond but I really dont know which way to lean... the new A75 or a pair of M-6200 mono's. I have always owned class A/B amps and although none are created equal I have certainly owned some amazing ones.
What are current Accuphase owners thoughts???

What speakers do you have?

I own an Accuphase A70. It is a superb amp. Despite being class A, it does not get very hot. I use it to drive Vienna Acoustics The Music speakers, which are a moderate load. Even with 96-98 db musical peaks, I have never seen the digital display go beyond 30 watts. The bass depth and control is better than some amps rated at 250-300 watts.

Im currently playing with Magico A3’s and Contour 60’s
Re: Accuphase Class A or A/B???
I have both A/B and A type amps. I prefer my Class A by far. Warm with plenty of power even for difficult bass driven speakers such as my Franco Serblin Ktemas. Highly recommend the Accuphase Class A amps. They don’t even get to warm.

Me too. I have E650 with class A 30 watts. I can even go up more than 5 % of power with my speakers.

Accuphase Class A amps sound wonderful. I'm currently using an A-75 (60w @8ohm,120w @4ohm, damping factor of 1000) with Sonus faber Strads, but am seriously looking at Magico S7's
Re: Accuphase Class A or A/B???
Im thinking you will need way more power for the S7’s

The A-75, like the A-70, has more headroom than quoted. More than double the power (3dB) stated for each impedance.
The A-70 easily pumped more than 400+ Watts peak into the Gauder Akustik Berlina RC 9 speakers that have a 4-ohm nominal impedance. It is covered in this review here: http://www.theabsolutesound.com/arti...-berlina-rc-9/
