I had the Nait 5i. I know everyone likes it but I thought it sucked. I don't mean to offend anyone with harsh language, but I'd be lying if I said anything else. Someone above mentioned Creek. I had a 5350 and thought it was great. There's absolutely no comparison between the 2. The Creek is better in every single way. If you don't want to spend so much, I had a Cambridge integrated for a while. Not as good as the Creek, but much better than the Naim for about half the price.
Now that my amp's blown...
Well, now that my amp's blown, instead of repair, I'm thinking about purchasing something else.
Speakers are Royd Minstrels..Source is my old Rotel RCD971.
I listen to all types of music. I was using a modified Sugden A48B, which worked well with the setup.
If I were to spend, say, $500 CAD on a used integrated, what else might work well with my source and speakers?
If i could say i wanted a bit of something more, i'd say it would be a touch more clarity in the midrange and maybe a little more dynamics (which is not to say the sugden is really lacking in either regard). If the whole thing could be more 3-d sounding, that would be great, too (although it's really my room that's very limiting in this regard).
