Corey Greenberg formerly of Stereophile and Michael Fremer formerly of the Absolute Sound used the 3.3's as their reference speakers for a time when with these respective magazines ... I believe both used the Aragon 4004mk II as the partnering amp
Amplifier suggestions to drive a pair of NHT 3.3
Hello Audiogoners.
I recently aquired a pair of used NHT 3.3 and I'm pretty happy about it. I intend to build my 2 channels system around them. So, the rest of my gear will probably be all upgraded at one point or another.
For the moment (this fall-winter)I want to upgrade the power amp. I got a Rotel RB-956AX, I bi-amp, bi-cable with 50w/c. No need to tell me how much I miss with this amp, it's pretty obvious to me...
So, I want decent power (200-300w/c) in a 2 channels unit (monoblocks while tempting will be avoided for the moment). I want deep thight bass, warm mids and sweet highs (don't we all).
I'm considering:
Mark Levinson 23.5
McIntosh MC300-MC352
Pass Labs X250-X350
Krell KSA200S-FPB200
Classe CA300
Bryston 4B-SST
So in the range of $2000 to $3000 used.
Any comments on these amps (or others) with the NHT 3.3 mostly appreciated.

The Odyssey Stratos Dual Mono (2 monoblocks in one chassis) would be a very good match with these speakers. And they would also save you some money too. 20 year warranty. http://www.odysseyaudio.com/products.html |
