Suggestions for an integrated amp?

I'm looking to upgrade amps my budget is 600-700 US. I was looking into either a musical fidelity a3 ( in the used market ) or a new Jolida jd-1501 new. The musical fidelity looks to me like being a perfect choice although, the jolida gives me that impression that its a cheap amp. Anyone have or can comment on the jolida? Any other suggestions would be great thanks!

I see you have B&W's...well...another suggestion is the Bryston B-60. I switched from a NAD 7225pe to the Bryston and the difference was significant. I haven't heard your particular NAD but I would assume that it is better than my circa 1988 NAD so who knows...maybe you are due for better speakers and not as much the amp.

I checked out a Jolida running N805's when I first bought my CDM1nt's...it was nice...but for my taste the Bryston would still be better.

My Electrocompaniet ECI3 may however be more of an extension of the NAD sound than the B60.

hope my nonsensical babbling helped.
