I have owned the Audio Refinement and can say that the NAD is clearly better and has the power that the original post here is lokking for.
As I said before, I have never been a fan of NAD before this. I have also chatted with techs over the yearsregarding build quality etc.. and I know that for a while NAD had some real QC problems. I can tell you things have changed. This amp is very well put together.
This amp was the European EISA amplifier of the year.
I would look to the recent Stereophile Review, the Measurements section for some qualitative comments on the engineering and build qualiy specific to this unit.
You'll find them to be exceptional, and when you consider the price of the amp downright surprising.
