Because each step of the P50sa is separate, the signal is clearer and better in control.
Ooo interesting, thats sounds good, thats why Doc said upgrade that first then :grin:

The Monos are a great bit of kit ! I have them on now and I have it up against my friends Naim Nait XS, I do believe you will not find a better sound for the money. As for Burn In I would say a month to get the full burn, its really livening up now. I am waiting for Doc to make me a P50se, LS6 and SSP. Like I said it cant get much better than it is! :-? Can it ?

I say some very silly stuff about Hifi - but about NVA's I am deadly serious.

My A40' monoblocks have been running now for about 2 months with a P50sa, and the performance of those small units is unbelievable in terms of what they do. They are not going to blow holes in walls with sheer power - but your ears will love you forever if you get some. Pure Quality.

A P50/A40 combo will cost you a bit more than an AP50 (and you will need interconnects as well), but it gives you the flexibility to upgrade when you have the funds; better pre-amp, bigger power amp, bi-wiring. And there are extra costs for NVA addiction - but then you'll have to see Doctor B. Honeydew for treatment :grin:

It took me a while to adjust and get used to a true sound but now I am very happy, if you do buy then make sure you give it a chance as it improves incredibly over time. I believe in burn in now and always will.

The A40s have enough power to shake the house with my doublets, trust me :grin:
