2nd system


I recently acquired a NAD 3020 for a song, and all things considered, its a solid performer, however I could go for a little less upper bass warmth which can bloat things a bit....would a B&K st 2xxx or Adcom 535 be a substantial improvement?...I have efficient speakers and dont listen that loud...
128x128phasecorrect
I am using one with IMF Super compact speakers and could not be any happier...very musical
Similar acoustic signature, but much better resolution and more solid bass can be found with the Audio Refinement Complete integrated amp. Should find one for around $500
My friend has an Emotiva amp, big beast acquired used for around $700. The amp is very neutral, yet detailed, musical, and powers his Maggies with ease. Emotiva makes a lower powered amp that may fit your needs. Definitely worth looking into.
Im gonna add an Adcom 535 amp to see if i can increase bass slam...or a 555 if i get really lucky....
before you decide on the 555, maybe read one of your older threads

also keep in mind of the 555's and age. How long before caps need to be looked at ?
