Yaqin VK-2100 or NAD C340 or C350 integrated?

I am trying to decide on one of these amps for a bedroom setup...anyone have any experience with any of these amps? The Yaqin is very enticing...$325 new shipped for a hybrid integrated. I know NAD offer tremendous value for the money and honestly that is what I am looking for...Any thoughts?

Check out Virtue amps, they're on the shelf above those amps IMO.
The older NAD 3020a will sound better than the newer NADS. Also consider an Advent 300 it's great and has a good tuner to boot. I saw one here recently, a vintage sleeper.
Best on your hunt!

The Yaqin can sound unusual.It is very clear but also very bright and seems to lack bass.Probably good for bass heavy speakers though.
The Yaqin MC10 tube amp is the one you want.It sounds fantastic in all areas.

I too have heard lots of people being happy with the Yaqin MC10 amp.

If you want value for the money for real? Then the Harman Kardon HK 3490. Overkill for a bedroom, but can be used in your main rig if needed.
