Hegel H300 vs Naim Supernait 2 vs Modwright KWI200

I'm still trying to find a solid state integrated amp for my AE1 Mk3 SE.

I can tryout the Naim with the local dealer. But there is no dealers for the other 2 brands.

Other suggestions welcome.

Thanks in adv,

K

Soundstage wide but shallow, lacked openness. Images rather big, bloated, no contours but edges of images dissipate.. The worst were live recordings, they didn't sound like life recordings at all, no atmosphere of the venue etc. but that's related to the mentioned shortcomings. Sound was kind of gimmicky, not natural. I was really disgusted. Speakers were 15k$ Elac's.

I'm finding the MW coarse in comparison and that characteristic is what is driving me towards the Hegel more than anything else.
