I had the M3. It is not the last word in having an open airy high end. I never used the treble control but that might help with that. The M3 is sort of closed in the upper end. I haven't heard the I-3SE but from my reading, it is very different from the M3. The M3 would probably be a bit rolled off in the upper mids and highs compared to the I-3. But, the synergy of your speakers with either integrated (the strength of the match) will be also be very important.
NAD M3 versus Simaudio I-3 SE
Hi all,
I am thinking about getting a new integrated amplifier. I currently have some small easy to drive speakers. The nad m3 is appealing because of the built in cross overs (i use a sub as well). However, I may upgrade to a larger speaker in the future. Does anybody have listing experience with the M3 and I3? I tend to prefer an airy, open, high end. I plan to listen to both amps but have not had a chance yet. Any opinions and/or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
brian
