Hello,
I'm new to this Forum, and to Hifi.
In the US, both of these integrated amps cost around US $1700. (with the Arcam a tad cheaper). The arcam A18 is around US $1000.
I've heard both, but really can't decide between them. The Arcam I could hear with the Monitor Audio Rx6 speakers, but not the Naits.
Also, how much better would these be compared to a basic Nad model (The 326 for instance goes for US $500).
So I guess I have two questions:
a) If the Arcam A28 and the Nait 5i cost around the same, which is a better value, sounds better to most people with the Monitor Audio.
b) Are the Arcam/Naits sound thrice as good as the NADs. (They cost thrice as much).
Thank you! And thanks for your patience.
