I prefer the A47 , more bass and a wider and deeper soundstage
Pass was a little more pure sounding , I could hear the piano high keys echo better

My next purchase is an Accuphase , just not sure which model

So the A-47 is more dynamic?

Yes
I tried out the e600 too and the a47 sounded wider with more bass
The speakers were Sonus Faber
In the next room they had the amps connected to some Western Electric we555 horns with woofers and a tweeter , all triamped
Even my son was impressed

Rvl, given the fact that you currently own a Pass Aleph 0s (and thus you do not need that much power), my recommendation is to buy an A-60 or an A-65. Of course, the A-70 is also ok if you can afford it.

In my experience, the top of the line stereo amps (e.g. A-60, A-65 and A-70) are significantly better than the A-4X models. The big amps are significantly cleaner, have blacker background, better soundstage, better bass, are much faster and the list goes on and on.

Pretty cool! Sounds good.

If you can stretch a DP-xx0 into the line up with an A Class amp to move out the BD95... The Accuphase DP-xx0 CD/SACD player compared to the BD95 (I have both) is a significant difference indeed.

Curious about the retail price for European market.
Following the recent price drop on new models.

The 2 major differences are higher damping and larger capacitors as compared to the A46.
By the way, I own 2420 and A35.

And I think Accuphase has been "updating" their products too frequently these few years.
Just when I was thinking of buying A46, there comes the 47 out of the blue.

How do I add my system as signature at the bottom?
I don't seem to have the rights/priviledge to do so....
