NAD C375Bee or Yamaha A-S2000

I'm looking for good sounding powerful amp to drive my classic Theil CS2 and Klipsh Heresy's. I can get either of these amps around $1300 even thought the Yamaha sells for $1900. Which would be better? Any other integrated amps I should consider around $1200?
Thanks,

I have no personal experience with the NAD/Theil combo but the NAD would be a great match with your Heresy's. The C375BEE is much more potent amd musical than it has the right to be for its price. The Yamaha specs out nicely but and is a beautiful piece but I haven't heard any modern Yamaha integrateds to say either way.

Get the NAD over the Yamaha. recent Yamaha does not impress me. I have heard the NAD and for the price it sounds very good. Another good integrated is the Peachtree nova although it is only 75 or 80 watts per side and the fact you are driving easy loads the peachree should sound very good.
