Hi,

I own a pair of mono amps to drive a pair of 4 ohm arrays. I've been using a matrix headphone amp as a pre ... i'm now looking to replace them with a decent integrated. I'm looking for one of the following:

- Denon PMA-2000IVR
- NAD C375BEE/C356BEE

Thanks!

    Welcome to Club Polk. I have no experience with the Denon although it did get good reviews from what I saw on the net. I am partial to NAD as I think it is great bank for the buck gear and it can handle a 4 OHM load. I have the NAD 355 and think it is a fantastic integrated amp. I am not familiar with Array speakers so I can't speak to synergy between NAD and Array

    I've owned NAD products before (C162/272/320bee), and have been impressed with them. I would love to get my hands on the newer integrated amps. I've heard a lot about the denon, and was hoping to score one for not a lot of money. They've been discontinued since a while, and was hoping to find someone who wants to upgrade :)

    I'm quite certain that both NAD/denon should have no trouble driving my speakers.
