Perreaux E160i vs. Roksan Kandy KA-1

[darkmonohue]

<font color='#000000'>I need to upgrade my amplification to drive my NHT ST4s (my Denon AVR-1603 just doesn't seem to cut it). Which of these two integrateds would folks here recommend?</font>

<font color='#000000'>I would tend to favor the Perreaux as they have a good reputation. It has equal THD as the Kandy but at higher power.

I also don't like products like the Kandy that force you to keep them in warm up mode.</font>

<font color='#000000'>I had the chance to hear Perreaux at the 2002 HE Expo, I would have to say go with the Perreaux. &nbsp;For the money it was cleaner sounding than any amp I've hear yet. &nbsp;The Kandy are supposedly great amps, but never heard them, but the Perreaux just clicked with me for some strange reason.
