New Rega Elicit Integrated - Opinions

The Elicit has been in my system for about three months. Basically, it's a warm, detailed, powerful amp that continues in the "house sound" for which Rega is known. It seems to have plenty of current- it drives my 88db/4 ohm speakers which ease. On the other hand, it tends to not draw attention to itself; one gets drawn into the music rather than continually listening to what the amp is doing. I'm very pleased.

Can I ask what other integrated amps you auditioned before settling on the Rega?

Musical Fidelity A5, NAD M3, Naim Supernait, Sim i-7.

If I can ask, what made you choose the Rega over the Sim and the Naim? Were there noticeable differences among the units you auditioned? Thanks for the input.

The Sim was out of my price range at 7k, but I thought it sounded a little cold for my tastes anyway. I did like the Naim, but liked the Elicit just as much, and it was 1000 or so cheaper. The Rega is probably warmer than the Naim as well.
