Is it me? Comments on the Rega Mira integrated.

I bought a Rega Plant CD player a while ago and have been extremely pleased with its musicality. So I thought What better amplifier to replace my old Marantz than a Rega Mira? You know, looking for synergy and all that. Well, was I disappointed when I took one home to demo recently! I found the bass to be overly prominent and flabby, a diminished high-end, and a decidedly constricted soundstage. Compared to my Marantz Special Edition integrated, that is. Reasonably detailed sound, however, a shortcoming of my Marantz. PEOPLE: What has been your experience with the Mira? Is it just me? Any suggestions for a good integrated to match up with my Rega Planet, 1K or under? Thanks!

Thanks for your comments, Viridian. Brash is a good word to decribe the sound of my Mira. Besides constrictive. And tubby. Not satisfactory. Any suggestions for an amp to go with my other gear? Balanced, accurate, airy, detailed, MUSICAL.

An integrated that matches your requirements very well, I think, is the Audio Refinement Complete. I haven't compared it to a Rega but mine is certainly accurate, detailed and musical.
