I had a Denon PMA1500ae for a while. I didn't get on with it and a Cyrus was a substantial improvement imho. I thought a Denon PM355UK was more musical than its bigger later brother.Blackdawn said:To the op. I also like the look and build of the larger Pioneer A70DA, particularly the low power consumption and high functionality but the power output is only about 25w more than the A30. For something different try the Denon PMA 1600NE, which is about the same price.
