this is a question that i wanted to ask a couple of months now, the point is i've built a system around an almost 20-year-old nad (model 3001) which in my ears sounds quiet musical, yet it's almost 20 years old !
so i've read superb reviews concerning rotel's ra-04 40wpc integrated amp (that sounds much more powerful than its 40watts per channel power) and i am curious (no i havent had any chance to hear it in my area) to ask : what are the difference in sound's character between nad (bear in mind that mine is an old nad, 60wpc, but i repeat in my ears older nads are faster and more expressive, maybe its my own idea, anyway) and rotel ?
i want to build a new (relatively cheap) system around it, if i find it, listen it and like it. since i see that some of you match it with quite expensive (compared to its price category) cd players and speakers (igglebert you are my man..) i'd like to have your opinion and experience with this level entry, still so favorable to match and powerful little amp.
thanx
