To replace my nice little Pioneer SA 500A (13wpc) that has been driving my 75w speakers (Bose 301 series 2), I have been searching for a more powerful vintage amp.
A few possibilities have appeared second hand here in Europe. All will need just a little dust off.
- Luxman L430 (the more expensive option) has 105 wpc
- Kenwood KA 405 (a little less expensive) has 55wpc
- JVC JA-S44 (half of the price) has 45wpc . I have a week spot for the looks of this JVC.
All have good reviews here and on hifiengine.
Which one do you think will fit best with my speakers? And is there one of these you really like most for its sound?
