A Choice... Please Help

[DoomRider]

Im looking a couple of Pioneer amps but cant decide on which. Im not sure which to choose. Can anyone offer some advice - pro's / con's or personal experiences etc? Also some stats would be good as I cant really find any info on either :scratch2:

Its between...

The Pioneer SA-506

and...

The Pioneer SA-708

You have shown a SA-608, not a 708.

Anyway, 608 or 708 have more power and better specs than a 506. They do sound better.

Yeah, there is actually a 708 and a 608. Dont happen to know the difference between the two at all? Visually they both look identical

Who cares about specs, I want the one with analogue meters!

Ditto on ANALOG METERS.

Yeah that's kinda what's swaying me.

506 and 608 are only "starter" amps. The smallest amps of these series.
SA-708 gives a better performance than 608. 608 does perform better than 506.

Beside the obvious differences of analogue and digital meter systems.
