finwiz Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I just purchased my first Klipsch speakers and want to upgrade an older high end component system. I my system includes an Axiom EP 350 12" sub which 'rocks'. My research, including hours reading this forum, has narrowed my search to the NAD C162/C272 separates, the NAD C372 integrated amp (same thing but $300-400 less), or the Rotel RX 1052. My RF7 listening will be almost all music. My impression is that the NAD's will result in a 'warmer' sound than the Rotel. Any input will be appreciated - I want to get this right since it's been 16 years since I last upgraded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsp1068 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Congrats...and Welcome. Is there any way you can get an in home demo? Do you have any local dealers for both? I know Rotel dealers will give a 7 day return policy, some will be $$ back, and some are exchange for a different piece. Another option would be find someone close to you on the forum who would be willing to bring a component over for an in home trial. A 3rd option is buy used on audiogon.com, and when you purchase "better" gear used (or new) it seems to hold its value quite well. You are going to get a million opinions of what sounds "best" with the 7's, but the wisest way to do it is try it, then you tell us.....givin all the variables.
