Similar acoustic signature, but much better resolution and more solid bass can be found with the Audio Refinement Complete integrated amp. Should find one for around $500
2nd system
I recently acquired a NAD 3020 for a song, and all things considered, its a solid performer, however I could go for a little less upper bass warmth which can bloat things a bit....would a B&K st 2xxx or Adcom 535 be a substantial improvement?...I have efficient speakers and dont listen that loud...
