Simaudio Titan 5-channel or 3 Silver NAD S200 amp


Hi there! I am curious about what everyone will think of this? I am putting together a system and considering either buying 3 NAD S 200 SILVER SERIES STEREO AMPLIFIERS FOR HOME THEATER (to make up a 5 channel) or get a SIMAUDIO TITAN 5-channel AMPLIFIER. The cost is about the same for either option so cost is not an issue. I am thinking of matching my Martin Logans ASCENT, Theater i, and Scenario with either of the amplifiers. I also have Musical Fidelity sources. I have Rotel RSP 1066 processor and Nordost Blue Heaven (speaker cables)and Nordost Red Dawns interconnects. Your input in this matter would be much appreciated. Thanks to all!!!

I have been hearing wonderful things about the Titan. They even compare it to one of the best multi-channel amp out there....Theat Dreadnaught! All I can say is it must be wonderful. Of course, Home Theater Magazine likes it too. The editor Chris Lewis phrased it saying: "It is definitely one the best mult-channel amplifier he has ran into" ---Home Theater Magazine. The NAD silver series stereo amplifiers of course are also well regarded, the arguement for having 3 separate power supplies and transformers is attractive. They are also heavier if you add up all the weight, if that matters at all. But ultimately, the sound is what makes the difference. I look forward to hearing to more people about this discussion. Thanks for the help in making the comparison to all.
John:

I have gone through numerous amp myself. I had Pass X3, ATI2007, Krell KAV500, Outlaw 750, and NAD 270 (3 of them). So far I enjoyed them all and each have their sonic weaknesses and strength but I really have not found the one for me. I'd love to hear about what other equipment you've tried. Also, I would like to know if you would keep the Moon Titan after the initial honeymoon is over. Of course this will take time I understand but I really would like to hear back about your opinion with the Simaudio lineup after few weeks and burned in time. Lasly, I would like to know how much you paid for it (if you dont mind that is)

Thanks
I am now sold with the Simaudio Titan. Do you think matchin it with Lexicon MC8 would be idea guys?
