NAD C 375BEE Integrated Amp Replacement Recommendations


I use the NAD C375BEE integrated with Klipsch RF-7 II speakers. Do you have any experience, or can you recommend an integrated with the grunt (bass weight) and smooth sound of the NAD C 375BE, but more refinement?   Looking not to spend more than about $2500.

Musical Fidelity M5si?
Luxman 505ux?
Musical Fidelity A5?
What have you heard; What's your take? Thanks

There's a used NAD M3 listing atm. Heard this at a couple shows and sounds smooth and powerful. It's an older item, though. They just released a streaming M10, which might be worth a try and new, it's within your budget.
I am not sure you will find anything that would make for a significant improvement over your NAD at your budget. If I were looking for an $2500 integrated, I would look at the Vincent SV337Mk. Sold by Audio Advisor.  
motokokousanagi, thanks, I used to own the NAD M3 many years ago with different speakers. Had the M2 as well. Not sure I would go down that road again.

mr_m thanks, I was thinking about the Rogue Sphinx II after reading post about it in another forum. What’s your experience with the Sphinx if I may ask?

Any old schoolers here have thoughts on the Jeff Rowland Concentra- does it have enough low end weight/? I'm certain it should be refined and resolving. 
Anthem I225 Integrated amp. 225 watts into 8 ohms/310 into 4 ohms. Very good low end torque! Onboard phone section. Remote, Clean, One XLR input. Contact me if your interested.

Nutty, thanks for your suggestion.  I have owned so many integrateds in the past years it's hard to keep track but have not owned the 225. Have considered it.  I have owned the NAD M2, NAD M3, Harmon Karkdon HK990, Yamaha AS2000, and the NAD C375BEE, granted, with different speakers. The Yamaha was more refined.  A member here who I respect, owned the Anthem and sold it to get the Yamaha AS 2000.   I have also owned the Blue Circle BMPH which I sorely regret selling and was probably my only high end integrated;, also the McIntosh MA6900 that I wish I never bought.
