Nakamichi ST7- Are these amps close to Threshold?

As I remember the build quality on these was problematic...fwiw.

The ST7 is a tuner...the PA7 is the amp...there is a PA7 series 2 also although I have heard the original is better...

I remember the Threshold product as superior, but they had a much larger range of amps, only the bottom end of which was close to the Nak product pricewise. I owned the cheapest Threshold, and was happy with my choice, though it would be unfair to say that the Nak wasn't "anywhere near to the sound quality of" the Threshold.

I've never messed around with the Nak amps that made use of the Stasis circuitry. I have heard from others that were familiar with both that the Nak version was a complete disaster in terms of both sonics and reliability. I specifically remember one person telling me "it is amazing how one company can take such a good design from another company and make it sound soooo bad". Take this for what it's worth, as i'm sure that others may have different opinions. I'm simply passing on what i've been told. Sean
