I'm looking in buying one of these big VU amps. I found both of them but not sure which would be the best choice. Can anyone give me some recommendations so I can make the right choice?
The M-5xx were the newer models. Just google Onkyo Integra M-5xx specs (The xx being the model you're I terested in), and you'll find more than a few sites. The M-510 only had 100 built, and the last one e I saw on ebay, was selling for $15,000.
Ive no first hand experience with either amp. With that said....
In looking at the hifiengine specs. The M-508 is a newer design and has a significantly better SNR ratio, 120db vs the 5090 with 94db.
The 508 also has better distortion specs.
I also like the internal layout of the 508 more.
And I like the way the 508 uses 8 smaller sized PS filter caps vs the 5090 and its 4 giant PS filter caps. Easier to replace in many cases. And the notion that a greater number of smaller sized caps is preferable to some with the idea its a faster means of charge/discharge.
Given they are both 200 wpc amps Id opt for the 508 myself.
But folks with experience on both amps may disagree and weigh in. Dunno
