Totem and Bel Canto?

The Bel Canto should very easily beat the NAD. Haven't heard Bel Canto with Totems, so I'm not implying that it'll have a better (or even a good) synergy; just stating Bel Canto is far better overall IMO. Not bashing NAD at all. I've owned a few NAD integrateds over the years and really liked their performance for the dollar. However, Bel Canto is easily a step or two up.

Doesn't mean you'll prefer Bel Canto to NAD either. But I think you'd agree it's better if you heard them both.

The bel canto is a higher league than the NADs. Yes, i had nads and bel canto in my system.
The bel canto are very quiet, smooth & very tube like. The midrange has tube like qualities of being warm & smooth, top end is also very refine.
The NAD is a solid state sounding amp, not that its bad, but the Bel canto is just another level. The Bels are also more refine sounding.

I'd prefer the Bel Canto with Totem.

I hate the bel canto with totems... There, it must be said...
Bel Canto is not great musically. The Totems are.

How about a Naim Nait 5i? Naim and Totem are a good match.
