Hi guys, first Happy X-Mas to you all.
I have a pair Monitor Audio GX50 standmounters eating dust over an year now in the loft. They are ways to good for that treatment.....so.....i want to build a class D set-up with them. Why Pioneer class D? I'm very charmed about the looks and building quality these two amps have. I have searched in and around the city i live in (Haarlem in the Netherlands), but no Hifi store have them, only the cheaper a10, a20 and a30 models. I only saw in one shop the PD50 cd player.....and wow that's a beautiful made player. The A50 & A70 took my interest more and more since then.
So my questions (and i hope there are A50 & A70 users or heard them good) are:
-is there any difference in sound between the A50 and the A70?
-is it the price worth (A50 costs 480 euro/400 pnd) for buying the A70 (costs 270 pounds more= 800 euro/670 pnd)?
-will the PD50 cd player sound better analogue on the A50 or A70, or better digital only for the A70?
I don't give a d@mn for the computer usb, better housing etc the A70 have over the A50, sound quality is the only thing that matters for me. Is the A70 a step up above the A50 and his 270 pounds more worth?
Please only serious answers....i mean by saying; pricier don't have to be better if it isn't so.
Thanks, Paul
