Nad M33 or something better


Hello all,

I have a pair of KEF Reference 3 (non meta) purchased 2 years ago along with NAD M33 to power them. I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on any other power for these speakers. I like the M33 but I think the Kef Ref 3 might be better with a better amp or integrated amp.

Any help would be appreciated. I purchased the speakers without hearing them with the NAD so I know that was not a great idea. The NAD powers them fine but everything I read about the Ref 3 is they need a quality power amp or integrated amp.

Thanks in advance for your help.

+1 @jjss49  I was going to suggest checking out the Hegel integrated amps.  They have a very high damping factor which matters to some speakers esp. in bass reproduction.  Hegel is a relative good bang for the buck.  Not sure how many hours you have on your lovely KEFs but speakers will have more bass presence after they are fully run in.  Enjoy and Cheers
