So I presume the P3ESR sounds a lot better with the Sugden A21se than Naim Nova? If that’s the case, forget about the 202/200.
Can’t believe people are still posting advice and suggestions…

I guess space has an impact. I’ll try positioning again when I’m free, but Nova doesn’t have many treble. The medium and low frequencies are very strong. The warm Nova has more power amplifiers now. I don’t know who to listen to

My Nova has great treble, but I expect speaker matching is important.
I think that if the Nova is appreciably lacking in top end against the Star then there’s almost certainly something not right with it. At the very least it would warrant further investigation. This is where you need to work with your dealer, as if there’s something wrong with your Nova, only they can help you out. Otherwise, I would speak with the distributor for your country.
(Unfortunately I fear I may be repeating myself here from earlier threads)

Mainly, I can’t prove that Nava has a hardware problem and has been running well. The distance between the merchant and me spans many cities, and there is no sample Nova to compare. I just feel Nova dull in hearing, and I don’t rule out the influence of space and positioning. Nova 80W, the increase of power brings more medium and low frequency, which is likely to be covered up. There will be more stars in hearing,
Nova, listen to me, it’s a warm amplifier
If I look at your pics, your listening room may be small, and your position not suitable to a nice equilateral triangle with some fine tuning. How big is your listening space?

Inspired by this thread, I have just been on to my dealer & ordered a mistress to add to my system. I wanted two but my dealer advised that my listening room was too small to accommodate two successfully.
I’m really looking forward to the addition to the system but do have one reservation. I am partial to organ recitals & hope that the mistress will not result in my organ being swollen or bloated. Even worse, what do I do if it becomes mushy?

Funny… are we still allowed?
I’d listen to something a bit more modern than a classical organ, the Hammond organ:
What’s funny?
I am only using the OP’s own words in the musical context of an upgraded system.
You omitted getting a moist frame…

How do you consider (your) Luxman amplifier?
Thanks in advance, Ryder!

Whatever setup you settle on be sure and wear a dress when making a complete assessment, just for completeness. It’s not just the speakers that need room to breathe.

I refuse to wear a dress other than on a Saturday night during Match of the Day…
