I have an old 3020 NAD in my gym and it still sounds excellent with the right speakers. I also have an older ARC D250 tube amp which is simply increadible.
That said, the 3020 doesn't do what my new Bel Canto amps can do. I think the digital amps are the biggest leap forward in SS design as of yet. I think the designs of today have a lower noise floor than yesterdays designs.
