NAD S200 vs. McCormack DNA125


I have a pair of Vandersteen 3A Signatures. My listening room is small (25 X 13) and I listen at moderate levels. I have heard good things about the Vandersteen/McCormack pairing, but I'm also a big fan of NAD. I have the opportunity to buy a used S200 or a used DNA-125. A DNA 225 is too expensive. The pre-amp and cables will also be upgraded, but I don't know to what. Source is NAD 720.

The wise money is also the unanimous pick here. Get the McCormack. Get the upgrades, too. I did the Platinum upgrades on my DNA-225 and it is one of the finest amps I've heard, at any price.
Another thing about the McCormack, if you need more power in the future the amp can be converted to mono and you could buy another.
