Recently found a real bargain on warehouse surplus SMSL SA-50's (not plus) and SA-98's (not 'e').
I've read positive things about both amps, but can't seem to find a direct comparison between the two. Which brings me here seeking advice and opinions from more knowledgeable folk before I make my purchase.
A little background to help lay the groundwork, the amp will be powering my Pioneer SP-BS22's and source will be from my desktop PC through my existing Fiio E07K/09K stack. Not sure if it's relevant but this setup will mostly be intended for gaming (nearfield) and videos/music (from about 2 meters away) in a room of about 20ish square meters. That's about it.
If there is other information necessary that I missed out, just ask. Oh, and thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to offer up their two cents. I'm quite clueless with these things and any help at all would be greatly appreciated. (I'll also set up a pole for those incline to weigh in but not have the time to write posts.)
