NAD M3/Marantz PM11


Can anyone please tell me where the NAD M3 is manufactured? Any comments on how it sounds would help as well. Refined, trasparent, speed, dynamics, balanced, resolution? How does the Marantz PM11 compare to then NAD M3? I also like the Marantz PM11 but have no way to listen to either one. Thank you all for any advice or input that you may have to offer.

Thank you both for your input. I have been away from this hobbie for a little over a year and I am looking into possible options for starting again. I have only owned separates in the past, meridian 502 had a sound that I really liked, and the Musical fidelity A308 Preamp sounded ok to me. I was using a Marantz SM-17 sa with both preamps at different times. I really liked this little marantz amp (both build and sound quality), but it did not go loud enough for my tastes. I had to move so I broke the system up and sold most components, until I could see what the new audio room was going to be like in size. I have read all I could find in magazines and on-line about both amps and found it hard to decide which way to go. I liked what I have read about the Mark levinson 383 also. I may go back to separates in the end. Any thoughts on the Krell KAV280 Preamp?
