All things aside...It is up to Jose to choose what he likes...my suggestion is to go play 'both' extensively. And not with headphnes...with high quality studio monitors (that's why they use them for mixing dowm to CD)

Just be sure to turn master EQ ON on the PA2...don't know about Audya, but maybe there is someting there to do as well? If your going back to the store...and need step by step on how to turn on master EQ, let me know and I'll get you directions.

Quite honesty when I went to audition the PA2 at Sweetwater (1 full day) I used headphones and was a little concerned about the sound quality of the voices...BUT when I got that baby home and plugged it to my Mackie HR824's and turned master EQ on and tweeked it a little WOW...what a sound.

The PA2 is not perfect, but I really enjoy mine.
