Alternatives to Musical Fidelity M3 Nuvista


Hi

I recently have upgraded to a Nuvista integrated and although it is very clear it becomes bright and wearing, there is loads of slam and energy.

The rest of my system is Esoteric SA-10, Dynaudio Focus 220 which are both known for being smooth. Im looking for a really detailed musical but smooth amplifier, also maintaining the slam and scale for orchestral and rock. I was thinking of one of the Marantz PM-15S1 or maybe the NAD M3

Any thoughts or alternative amps

Thanks

I agree with all of the above, if you read the on-line Stereophile review, they mention your problem was solved by upgrading the power cord and cabling from the power center to the amps. I did that with mine and am very satisfied. Have it matched with the Nuvista 3D CD, and have not hear a demo of anything I could afford (and I could not have paid retail for these) that even comes close. In fact many of my wanderings through "if I only have an unlimited budget" have not moved me to replace these units. I am definitely staying with mine and as soon as I win the lottery will get some ridiculously expensive speakers which I believe the MF will pair with nicely,
