"I will try with the Arcam A19. Would be Arcam more open then
NAD."
NAD is another good choice but I don't know the sound of either well enough to make the comparison. There is one really nice thing about NAD, though. All their integrated amps, except their lowest price model, jump the amp and preamp sections externally in the rear using rca jacks. That means you can use it just as an amp or just as a preamp, and keep the signal from running through the piece that you are not using. Its great if you plan on upgrades in the future.
