You may wish to go w/ another NAD amp if you like the sound. I own the 302 and it's "only" 20w per ch. but it has no problem at all driving 4 ohm 90dB spks. and it sounds very good! The Rotel and Kandy will probably be more detailed and it may not suit what you're used too. I'd possibly look at the Arcam Alpha 10 as well. (I owned this amp at one time and from memory I thought it had a nice warm presentation. Completely different presentation from an Alpha 7 which I presently own as well.) Good Luck!
Replacement amp for NAD 3020a?
I have one of these amps linked up to a pair of Royd Sintra II's, through which I play my ipod mainly, though I do have a Rega turntable I use now and then. I was advised ages ago that the Royds could use a more powerful amp. My top limit is £700 so I was looking at the Roskan Kandy 2. But then the more I looked...the Rotel ra1520 came up. And also the Yamaha A S500, as a budget option. What do you think? Go with the Yamaha or push the boat out for the Roskan or Rotel, or other ideas!?
Thanks!
