NAD 325BEE Integrated Amplifier (SS) - Well...

...I remember being somewhat surprised at how good a Krell KPS-30i/KAV-300i sounded through Watt/Puppy 6's. And that was only one of two times I liked the Watt/Puppies. I lived in an apartment too, so it (KAV-300i) would have been great for that, but I had already purchased my separates (KRC-3/8008BB). In other words, I can agree with you to an extent, depending on the reasonably priced electronics.

I had an NAD preamp for awhile some time before that, which I was told was from the preamp section of whatever NAD integrated amp was very popular at the time (80's). All I can say about that is, while this little preamp was pleasant sounding (did not put out irritating, harsh sound), it was not up to high-end standards. It was too colored and not good enough for me to hear the [real] music. I will say that, IMO, it was better than the Hafler DH-110 (I think that's the model) I bought based on reviews (sounds as good as a Levinson, maybe better!). In fact, it was the worst sounding electronic component I have ever had. I evetually replaced this with a Levinson ML-12A.
