Are Nakamichi amps any good?

I currently have a Krell KST 100 amp with a YBA 2 preamp driving my Vandersteen 2's but Threshold amps have caught my attention.

1) Would a Threshold amp be a step up from the Krell?

2) Are Nakamichi amps any good or are they Threshold wannabes?

I'm trying to keep the upgrade below $1000 and I'll recap amp if needed.

Well, that's 2 techs who say the Nakamichi amps had reliability problems. Whether that's touchy protection circuits or bad bridge rectifiers, minor or otherwise.

I think it's safe to say that TonyKay is wrong and that Nakamichi amplifiers (regardless of how splendid a designer Nelson Pass might be) had issues.
