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

Thanks for the responses. I have T+A talis tls1 speakers. My greatest worry is the way some people describe the M3s high end as sounding introverted. However, synergy (as foster_9 mentions) is not factor I have considered yet.
Has anybody here listned to the M3 and a rotel. I have a rotel ra-1062 currently. Was wondering how the performance at higher frequencies compares (I know the rotel is a much cheaper amp).
okay... last question. thanks for bearing with me. What about the M3 compared to a simaudio I-5??

Thanks
Brian
