Arcam FMJ A19 vs Arcam FMJ A28

[Lo Fi]

Has anybody heard both of these amplifiers and if so which do you think is best.

Only heard the A19, I thought the Creek 50A was better.

Anyone got an Arcam A28, wht do you think and what speakers have you got.

I would guess not much difference between the two. Even harking back to the DIVA range the difference between the A65 and A85, apart from extra power, wasn't hugely different.

For the price of a new A19 you could have this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/leema-acoustics-pulse-/121110117952?pt=UK_AudioTVElectronics_HomeAudioHiFi_Amplifiers&hash=item1c32b9be40

I have an A28 and much prefer it to the A19 as it has far more power and control.

I tested out the Kef LS50 on the end of an A19 as they did not have an A28 in the store and it just didn't have the drive to power them properly.

I love the sound of my set up but of course it is all down to taste so demo both if you can.
