Primare A20 integrated???

I can pipe in and add my recommendation with regards to the Primare integrated. A very nicely built and sweet sounding amplifier; the comments by 'mcfavre4' would certainly mirror my experience with the Primare. I did ultimately prefer a Densen B-100 integrated amp, but that is, of course, another story...

I feel the Primare would be ideal for the NHTs. I have owned the A20 MKII and enjoyed it more than any integrated I had owned which included the Bryston B60, Plinius 8150i, Sim i5080. I recently sold it to upgrade to the the Primare A30.1 which has much of same Primare sound yet more of it. The A20 is sweet and liquid sounding, not rolled off however, with a very nice big soundstage and superb full midrange that is not dry like that on a Sim i5080. Bass is not bloated, it is tight and tuneful so it too would match idealy with the NHTs. I haven't heard all of the other amps and I'm sure they have their strengths but I didn't hear a weak area in the A20. Low bass is not as obvious or robust as on the Plinius or Sim but I liked the Primare's tunefulness. I also liked the Bryston and Plinius but I feel the Primare had the best of all worlds for my listening taste. Power is conservative at 70W, it will play loud and clean as it did with my GR Paradox 1s. It is a dual mono design so there is plenty of headroom for the NHTs. Plus..it looks gorgeous and is built like a tank. BTW, I also think the Primare CD players are superb.
