Both are Advance Paris, from different ranges - the engineering approach is shared and the differences are mostly in power, connectivity and price.
| Area | Better | Why |
|---|
| Power | B | Advance Paris X-A220 EVO has more power - 220W against 160W into 8 ohms. That is about 1.4dB, which is a small step in loudness but real headroom on peaks. |
| Analogue inputs | evenly matched | The same number of line-level inputs (2). |
| Price | A | Advance Paris X-A160 EVO costs less - $2,499 against $2,999 at list. |

depends neither is better in the abstract - it turns on your room, your system or how you will use them. Only specs published for both amplifiers are judged; anything missing on either side is left out rather than guessed.
Which should you choose?
The usual trade-off: Advance Paris X-A220 EVO measures better, Advance Paris X-A160 EVO costs about 17% less. With most speakers in most rooms that gap is smaller in practice than it looks here.
What a spec sheet cannot show: how either sounds with your speakers, how the controls feel day to day, and what the app is like to live with - which is where most all-in-one amplifiers are actually won or lost. Power figures are the manufacturers' own and are not measured to a common standard, so treat small differences as noise. If you can hear both, that will tell you more than any row above.
