I can't see the A5 as a good choice. I used to have one. It does have a lot of power, buts a very forward and aggressive sounding amp. It takes the concept of PRAT way to far. All attack and no body. That's the last thing your speakers need. A higher end NAD would probably be a good choice.Also have a look at Marantz or the new Parasound Halo integrated.
Which is Better? Musical Fidelty A5 (used) or new Rogue Sphinx?
I currently have an NAD C 375 BEE integrated amp running a pair of BW 804S speakers. Have urge to get new integrated amp. Have considered a used Musical Fidelity A5 (it has lots of power) or a new Rogue Sphinx (not as much power but sweet sound). Listen mainly to classic rock and blues with some classic jazz and little classic country and western music. I also like it on the loud side. Can't decide. Which choice will give me the biggest upgrade over the NAD? I'm counting on some input from the membership.
Thanks
