Concerning class A and class AB, I currently have a Luxman 550AX with Harbeth C7ES3's. I owned a class AN Luxman 505ux before the 550ax. I do remember that the 505ux was much more dynamic sounding than the 550ax and I kind of wished I would have kept the it instead of "upgrading" to the class A.

I am not sure how that translates to the Accuphase line. My initial thought is that I would probably like the E-480 better than the E-650 or E800 but I haven't heard an Accuphase. Also, I do have to keep costs in mind.

I am also a bit worried that the class A Accuphase models might not be able to drive the TAD speakers as they are somewhat inefficient. Again, I could be totally wrong about this.

I would appreciate anyone's input---particularly the folks that may have an Accuphase/TAD setup.

I like all kinds of music, from classical to jazz, some RAP, alternative, pop, rock...essentially everything except country.

Looking forward to your replies.

My dealer keep on pestering me to upgrade my current speaker to TAD-E1TX-K. He told me it's a perfect match with my E800.

So you should be fine with the speaker upgrade.

There's actually a YouTube on the E800 powering the TAD-E1TX-K below
