No, I haven't. It really depends on your source and speakers, both Marantz and Nad have very different sonic characters.

I would pair them with NAD C525bee. I m not sure about speakers since Mission M34i are ready to be updated...MA RX2...for example..

The Nad pairing would be the obvious choice, but not necessarily the best.
Nad amps usually have poweful bass and well detailed. The Marantz, in my view, has broader sound across all frequencies. Both are very good. If you can't audition, then plump for the Nad pairing; if you find the character not to your liking you could always sell it and go with Marantz.
This is a tough question without knowing what 'does it for you' sound-wise - and, of course, what sort of music you prefer.

One is not better than the other; it just comes down to personal taste. I would say that the Marantz amp does look better/more stylish than the NAD amp though for what it's worth.

as I am getting older, theist is shifting from rhc peepers to something more subtle...to classical music...the punch is still needed but detail is taking its place...
