The new NAD 375 int gas a rich tonal balance and plenty of zutz, has tone controls that can assist compressed Rock recordings and will work great with your PSBs and many other well designed speakers.
Getting back into Hi-Fi need new int-amp
Looking at many models under $1k. I have a small room and small bookshelf speakers. Listen to mostly rock from classic to indie to metal. NAD, Marantz, Creek, and Music Hall all look great. I want a sub output over on board phono input. Once I upgrade my turntable would rather have great phono stage and the option to upgrade. My CD player is a PS1 after hearing about the sound quality. Speaker's are PSBs. Any suggestions other then the ones mentioned would be great. Looking to upgrade to Harbeth PSESR's eventually.
