Opinions on the following Integrateds


I may be able to scrape together enough to look at one of the following in used form. Looking at $500 to $1000 used. As anyone directly compared these units to each other? I listen to rock and blues. I did not include the Denon 2000 as I had one for a test several years ago and thought it was very laid back. Opinions appreciated.

Thanks guys, No love for NAD. Right now I like the NAD 3400 Monitor seies IA over the Rotel 990 power and 995 pre I am using. Better in the voices and bigger stage but had to replace the jumpers on the NAD with cardas neutral reference. Really changed the resolution and focus.. Now it sounds more like the Rotels resolution. I thought the MF also but there is no headphone jack and I do not want to buy an amp. Also I would like to be able to control the volume of the headphones with the remote and there is no way to shut off the speakers on the MF. What about the Shandeling a300 or is it A3000??
