I run the E-210 with my Quad ESL 63's, and sometimes my LS3/5a's. It's probably the most musical integrated amp i have heard in this price range, it just plays music and that's it. For the prices these go for now days i dont really know what else could compete.
Very simple and effective layout, i'm not missing the EQ of the more hi-end Accuphase integrated amps. Have compared this to a 408, 350 and a 405, and it has the same warm and open balanced character. Maybe not as fast in the low end, but very musical. Not as analytic as the more expensive brothers, but i dont see that as a problem at all.
Quality impression is the same as 200k Accuphase products, wonderful.
Very effective for "only" 80 watts.
Pick this up and just listen!

Ik heb deze tweedehands gekocht ongeveer twee jaar geleden.
Ik had voor die tijd bijna ieder jaar 2 of meer versterkers in mijn bezit.
Ook geen goedkope. Denk bv aan de primare 30 of de Marantz pm 16 Sony 777es.
Deze Accuphase is gewoon de beste die ik ooit gehad heb.Met name in het laag heeft hij de luidsprekers volledig onder controle. Bovendien in het midden en hoog zijn met name de blaasinstrumenten prachtig om te horen. Dit is met name te danken aan de dynamiek die deze versterker bezit. Hij gaat alleen nog weg voor een Accuphase die een stap hoger ligt

Strength:

Ease of playing, the serenity around the music is fantastic Dynamic Build

Weakness:

Color (champagne is defenitly not my color) Dimensions, amplifier does not fit in cabinet

I've been using this amplifier for almost a year now. Driving my Jamo Oriels quite easy (bass could be a bit tighter though). The ease with which this amplifier plays my music is very relaxing. The staging is far better than my previous (Van Medevoort pre/power) amplifiers. The remote control is simple but effective. Unfortunetaly my Meridian 507 does not have balanced output, so I don't know how the balanced inputs are. The phono input is great. A major improvement over the input on my Van Medevoort. A very good and musical amplifier.

Strength:

Excellent build quality,

Weakness:

Outputs for only one pair of speakers

I use the Accuphase E-210 with an external Phono-Input (from T+A) so I can nothing say about the E-210A with built in phono input.

The Accuphase is driving my T&A TMR Criterion 160 speakers. To my opinion the E-210 can handle any speaker, which has no abnormal demand for power: 2 x 110 Watts at 4 Ohm are enough for 95 % of the speakers on the market.

The Accuphase plays music, without adding something or fudging. From the lowest to the highest frequencies you will only hear what you feed him. So the best I can tell about this amplifier: buy it, install it, forget it: it will never play itself in the foreground.

And don't forget the overall quality: if you ever want to sell it (I don't) the name Accuphase will pay!

I WOULD SAY IT`S THE MOST NEUTRAL AND TRANSPARENT AMP I`VE HEARD IN REASENABLE PRICE. IT TAKES SOME TIME TO FULLY APPREACEATE A SOUND THAT
IS SO COMPLETELY FREE FROM IMPRESSIVE BEHAVIOR.BUT AFTER LISTENING TO
IT FOR SOME MONTHS AND COMPARED IT TO KRELL KAV300i I MUST SAY THERE I
CAN`T THINK OF ANY COMPETITERS.

This is one of the best integrated amplifier I have heard. It sounds very good over the music range and it seems to me that it can swing more than 80 Watts.

I think this amplifier is going to stay with me for a long time. With it now I use a Meridian CD-player together with Mirage OM-8 speakers. I've also tried it on smaller speakers, like the cheap Audio Pro monitors. Its sound comes perfectly through: deep, punchy bass, not too quick but authorative, open and transparent midrange, and airy and clear highs. It looks solid and refined like a Rolls Royce and give an immediate appearance of high quality.

I´ve been "living" with my Accuphase E210 for several months and I can´t think of a better integreted amp. The E210 delivers a very nicely balanced sound, smooth and rich at the same time. To my ears, it outperforms for example the integrated Krell KAV by far. If I´m to say anything to describe the sound: if Krell wants to impress you for the moment (which made me bored within minutes) Accuphase E210 just keeps growing, and day after day lets me hear what a wonderful soundmachine it is. Really superb value for the money.

This is a very fine amp.Like all Accuphase products the look,the finish and the build quality is superb.The sound quality is very good,but after some
months you want it to be even better.On this amp it is rather easy to make
a tremendous improvement.I have replaced all filmcaps, on the poweramp:s
pcb:s,with topquality film/foil types(polystyrene/tinfoil).These caps are
outstanding regarding less influence on the audio signals.At the same time
I improved the power suply to the drive- and powerstage by soldering 1mm
highquality copperwire on the pcb:s coppertraces.(to the mosfets and the
powerMETs).After several months I am still amazed by the fantastic difference
in sound qality.The bass is very low and fast and singing,the mids are tran-
sparent and neutral,and the treble is very sweet yet much more detailed.
