Best amp for NHT Classic 3

Hi all,

I'm new here. I don't know much about amplifier. I'm looking for an integrated amp or amp+preamp for my NHT Classic 3 and SW10 subwoofer. This set is for listening to the music only. The following are my preferences:

-Price under $1,000 (used/new)
-Phono input
-Second Pre-out for my subwoofer

That's about it. I saw NHT Power 2 is selling here. Is it a good amp for the music? Many people said NAD is a good choice to go for, but I just want to hear what you guys think. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thank you...

an old Citation amp would be PERFECT with the 3s. you really need 250 watts/side

I am using Rotel 1075 amp (125x5) with a Marantz SR6003 as my control unit. Sounds great!

I'm not sure about the best amp as various system variables affect your results. I do agree with several folks here that you need a high current amp with the 3's. I use either a Threshold Stasis 3 breathed on by John Hillig of Musical Design or a stock Rotel RB-980BX.

i'm a little late to this thread as usual, but i just picked up a pair of 3's and hooked them up to my Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum and wow!!! Silky smooth with everything in spades! And that is with the EL34's @ 55 watts, not the KT90's at 90 watts. Amamzing speaker!
