I did accidentally come upon one on display once. And it did sound pretty good. As well as you can audition an amp in a large store!
Sound was good and not lacking in any major ways - again not an environment to audition a stereo!!! One thing that was noticeable, again I was listening to it in a very large store, was with more complex sound it seemed to crap out a little. It had a nice top end. But more complex pieces it seemed to get a tad muddled.
If you are in the $500 or below range I would go with a NAD. Can't go wrong with NAD at that price!!!!

My very old NAD3150 was dead for some time. They said the parts required were not being made anymore. A neigborhood electronics guy managed to get the parts, maybe locally made, and now the amp works. But the sound is not the same. The background is muddled and the female sound is recessed. The sound is clearer when the mono button is pushed.So I think I need a quality new amp and from various posts and writings in magazines, I find that the NAD 316BEE is a best buy. That coupled with the Elac B6 must keep me happy for a few years. I did see some reviews of the Onkyo which is cheaper. But then I would prefer NAD to an Onkyo.

If you post regularly on these forums then you do have some audio "class". In that price range and even higher go for the 316BEE. Just my personal opinion.
Thanks. I have figured from your many previous posts that the 316 is better. SM of S'phile also used to praise it a lot.
Now, the itching to hear UB5 vs B6. Life of an audiophile is made up of itches!
Best Regards
Bill
Yeah, that's an itch you're never going to find a good cream for!!!!
Enjoy the scratching
