Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions integrated amp for the M3ti

I just ordered a pair of m3ti's. Now I need to buy a solid state integrated amp to go with it. So far I'm thinking about getting a NAD 320bee or 352.
Are there any others that I should consider?

Definetly get the C320BEE over the 352. Many say the sound is quite a bit better...

Honestly i think the 320bee would be a great match with the axioms and you would be very pleased.

Maybe some Rotel stuff?

RA-02
RA-1060

Cambridge Azur is also very good

you might be able to pick up a used Cambridge 500 for a couple hundred bucks.

Stick with the NAD......for the price there is nothing better! I auditioned Cambridge and it kept over heating and shutting off in the store. The sound was very simular to NAD and I believe they are trying to get into NAD territory but there is a difference. The only difference you will get between the 320BEE and 352 is that the 352 is a little warmer sounding and has just been updated along with impedence sensitivity it can handle many loads without even breaking a sweat. The 352 would be worth the extra in my opinion.

Depending on your budget, and the features you desire, there are several names you could investigate:
- Rega, Linn, Naim, Vecteur, NAD, Rotel, Cambridge, Roksan - to name but a few.

I have driven Axioms with NAD for many years, with no complaints. I believe that Alan had indicated that they had QA/QC issues in the recent past, but have corrected the problems. I have also used several of the mfg'ers listed to drive my Axioms with great success.

What is QA/QC???????????

I have a Rotel-RA972 intergrated amp that I love.
The sound is neutral and works well with the Axioms.

I believe the 972 is now the RA-1060.
