I've owned a few different Rotel & NAD pieces. To me, NAD components are a little more "polite" as you say. I think Rotel is a much better bang for your buck.
Best pair of $ 1500 speakers to match with Rotel?
I hope this isn't too boring of a question but I just bought a Rotel 1072 CD player and am contemplating buying their 1062 integrated amp, which will leave $ 1500. in my small budget for speakers. Any suggestions? I'd consider buying used. I'm afraid the Axiom M80TI's at $1300 are too good to be true. Are they? I currently have B&W P5's that I bought 12 years ago, but they now seem rather polite and lacking bass. Anyone care to share their wisdom? Many thanks!!!
