NAD C165 vs Parasound 2100 vs Emotiva USP-1

Thanks. I have Quad 22L speakers (british somewhat laid back) and outlaw amps. I am a bit worried that the NAD will be too boomy with the Quad speakers.

The reputation of NAD is on the warmer side but I have also hear that some models are more neutral.

any thoughts on that BigHead63

anyone have direct experience with the NAD C165 BEE?

james,

do you include the C 165 BEE in the "most recent classic models".

Jeff

thanks,

That is important info. If the NAD is neutral it has a lot of features I would like.

It looks like it is down to the parasound P3 and the NAD C 165. For me. I was also looking at a adcom 750 but it lacks an important feature or two. So unless I hear that the adcom way outclasses the nad and parasound I will probably go with one of the latters.

I have no problem with value priced hardware. My concern is more that I have seem feedback from several sources that the emotiva USP-1 is bright. I only care about the sound quality and build quality.

Any comments on those factors?
