circe,
I paired my rotel 931 with my Missions. Good but not on loud levels. It clips the speakers. I traded the amp with a NAD CD player and been loving that since.
I then bought the NADC350 with the Wharfs 8.3...it not within my expectation as what WHAT HIFI magazine described as the a perfect match. - sounds rather dull to me. So I sold the Wharfs and replaced the NAD amp with vintage tubes...loving it eversince
I will try to audition if what they say about the 9.6 is true. If the soundstage is really a wow. I have yet to hear it...but am quite excited about it. dami na kasi nagreccomend
wish me luck!
