bryston 14b or M Fidelity nu-vista m3

Any opinions on the above with nautilus 804 speakers. If I buy the 14bst I will use my Linn Wakonda pre amp. I will sell my Wakonda if i purchase the m3 integrated. The m3 sounded more open to me and slightly warmer than the 14b.
Has anybody tried these amps?

The M3 will smoke the Wakonda/14bst combination. More open, dynamic, smoother cleaner highs and more detailed low end are the hallmarks of this great integrated. The only other integrated that can come close is the $6500 Mark Levinson 383. It will work wonders with the B&W N804 as long as the sources are up to it.

Miked, have you heard either of these preamps/amps on these speakers? If not why are you posting? I have heard both these combinations and can say IMHO that the M3 will "smoke" the Wakonda/14bst combo.
P.S. In no way did I equate that warmer is not better.
