Make sure to also try the Sony's separately: I think the amps are (much) better than the pre.
Modern or vintage?
I am trying to decide whether to keep my just-acquired NAD C355BEE integrated amp or replace it with vintage equipment - maybe a Sony TA-E80ES preamp with a TA-N80ES amp.
I am sure for raw power the sony combo would destroy the NAD but does anyone have any experience in how the sound would compare? These are driving NHT Classic Four speakers in a large room.
I just got the NAD setup the other night and I am happy with it but I have always wanted to own these Sony ES beasts and now that some are available I am sorely tempted!
