PS Audio A-100 compared to Bel Canto S300

I am curious if anyone has compared these two amps. I have a Bel Canto PRe3 which I am sure would be a good match for the S300. But the A-100 seems to have similar specs to the S300 at a much lower cost (used).

I am currently using a NHT Power 5 with the PRe3. I thought the A-100 or S300 would be a step up in SQ over the Power 5. Thanks in advance for any thoughts on these two amps.

Thanks Tweak1 and Kenobi for your thoughts.

I have looked at the W4S amps and they are on my short list. I believe the NHT has different ICE modules than the S300 but not 100% sure. From what I have read on AVS the implementation on the NHT is not as good as many of the current ICE module based amps.

I looked at the Nuforce and the there is a pair of 9.02s here for $900.00. Are these the V2s? From my brief reading of a few reviews of the 9.02s was the issue of noise in certain applications. I do not have a FM tuner so that would not be an issue though.

Thanks again, Bill
