Both are very nice companies and have a similar music first before features attitude that I very much like. NAD's had some quality control issues lately though that would concern me. Rotel on the other hand has proven to be very easy to work with and continue to support their users with great service and free firmware updates to tweak the units as we request new features or changes to the interface etc. There's also the looks of the products and in that regard the Rotels are beauty pagent winners compared to the ugly duckling NADs
