Boulder 866 / Rotel Michi M8

Michi M8 big boys against the little sophisticated Boulder 866 all-in-one?
Advantages disadvantages?

I had the opportunity to bring new michi M8 monos with a warranty of $5000, but there are also quite a few good reviews about the Boulder 866...

They play in the same league?

Thanks!

Have not heard the M8 but there reviews are quite good. I can attest that Boulder is a great company and everything is made in house. Have you had a chance to listen to both amps?

It is an outstanding integrated with a superb DAC. I have Rockport Avior ii speakers and the Boulder is superb with them! Good luck in your search!
