Return,
We might be able to assist you directly we sell many of the major brands of electronics.
We sell the Anthem STR, the Antem STR Separates, T+A integrateds, Micromega, Naim, Electrcompaniet. NAD Masters, and we usually have a few trade in amplifiers around.
It will come down to sound and features. Not all of these make magic with the Personas.
Doesn’t your dealer also sell the Anthem STR products?
The Anthem, STR amp and preamp on good cables and power conditioning produced some of the best sound we have heard with the 3F. The seperates are easily worth the extra money over the STR integrared.
Personally I would take a T+A integrated over any thing other then the seperates but the R series costs $11,500 while the HV series costs $18k!
The STR integrated seems to be voiced differently, we dramatically prefered the Micromega M100 over the STR integrated with the 3F.
Cables do make a huge difference, Contuzzi isn’t right on that one.
