Naim Nait vs. NAD 375BEE: Soundstage

I am considering the Naim Nait and the NAD 375BEE. Both are similarly priced integrated amps with a long pedigree. Which has better spatiality and soundstage? I have Audio Physic Virgo 2's and play a lot of ambient music. I dont need to play at high volume, nor do I need to reproduce dynamics and transients. thanks!!!!

Completely agree... Naim is in a different league (I have owned and currently own both Naim and NAD and I really like NAD gear).

The trademark PRaT is present in the newer Naim gear (Uniti line) and I think that the imaging has also improved... YMMV.

Bryston vs. Naim: hard choice -- don't think you can go wrong.

The NAD C375BEE is phenomenal and has not been reviewed properly nor utilized properly by most owners. The reason is the preamp out/main in connection...you must use a high quality interconnect. With MIT AVT 1 cables from CD to the NAD, jumper connection and for the speakers it takes on an entirely reference grade character.

The Naim is in a different league over NAD until you replace
stock jumpers with the Cardas jumpers. Then Naim goes in
the "Z" League.
Gentleman from California replaced all wires in the NAD
with the Cardas Golden Ratio wires, also the fuses and he got 90% sound quality of the Accuphase E-450.
