Default NVA Amps

Does anyone have any experience of these amps?


About fifteen years ago, there was a shop near my house which sold NVA and
quite a lot of them.
I heard a couple the amps with different speakers and they sounded quite
good to me.
The little amp (perhaps an AP20?) could not drive the ProAcs which I was
using at the time but the bigger amp was well beyond my budget.
A work colleague of mine bought the AP20, won't part with it.



In what way was it unable to drive the Proacs?

I have this (perceived) issue with Dynaudio speakers, and I've only ever
found two amplifiers that sound good - a huge valve amp (sold) and an
old Cambridge power amp (broke under the strain).

However, I've asked on this NG and been advised that any competently
designed amplifier of the past 20 years should sound identical. Not
unanimous, majority.
