I got into this hobby (obsession) just about a year ago. I started my system impulsively with a NAD 325 integrated. Last spring I bought Audio Physics Tempo VI speakers. While I enjoy the NAD, I would like to find a better-suited amplifier. More and more I am listening through my Mac and a Beresford DAC. I enjoy most types of music, especially singer/songwriter, folk/acoustic, jazz, rock, pop, classical. My listening room is about 300sq ft, with partial opening at the rear and one side partially open into the dining room. I am trying to keep an open mind, in terms of tube, ss, mono, integrated, or just a power amp to use w/the NAD as a preamp for awhile. I'd like to spend no more than $2000 on something that will make the APs sing. I'll be at RMAF this weekend to hear as many amps as possible. I appreciate your input.
