When I owned the NAD C162/272 combo, I felt it sounded much better than the top NAD integrated of the time the C372, and well worth the additional cost.
Marantz PM 8003 v Rotel or NAD sperates
I much prefer integrateds but do not want to go backwards Understanding the power differences would there be any reason from a sound quality perspective to go from say a Rotel RC 995/RB 990 or NAD C162/ 272 to a marantz PM 8003 integrated? I had one while ago but now have different gear so not sure.
