You could broaden your options if you're willing to go the factory direct route. Some companies offer 30-day in home trials of their gear, and there are many reviews available online to give you background on what's good (or not) about each. Ideally you'd get to work with through a dealer, but if you're not hearing anything that gets you excited, I would explore other avenues.
However if something in that list floats your boat, go for it. I'm not familiar with the Accuphase line myself, but the other stuff is pretty well known and folks here will be able to offer up opinions on each I'm sure. |

I'd avoid the Denon. I had an older Denon PMA, it wasn't great at anything, with the exception of when it was being used with headphones, which became it's only use to me after a short while.
When set-up with speakers, it seemed to lag behind in the bass region, and didn't offer a very exciting midrange or highs. It wasn't very detailed or musical. It was a very boring amp.
You have much better options available to you.
Godspeed. |

Hi,
Unfortunately I don't really know the models you have there, but the NAD M3 is one I would investigate closely. I use lower NADs with lower Dynaudios and they are a good match.
Regards,
Frank. |
