Hi TomI don't think accurate amplifiers need to be boring. It's just that some are - in the same way some studio monitor speakers (designed to be accurate) sound horrid in the home.
I see you have a NAD M22. I'm not sure that would be boring. In fact, the reason I bought my (boring) Benchmark amp was because a fellow Avantgarde owner was waxing lyrical about his new Benchmark that he considered marginally better than his M22. In the event, I established that his No 1 priority was to have dead silence from his 107dB speakers and the Benchmark is probably the quietest amp on the market. I was SO disappointed with it, but after trying many other amps with or without my M12 preamp, I choose a NAD M32 integrated steamer/preamp/DAC/power amp. I'd not describe it as in the least boring, but I believe it to be pretty accurate. I'm well pleased with it, but now have a selection of very nice tried and tested amps for sale as the M32 beats or matches them all. These include Accuphase A-36, Gamut D200 Mk III, Red Wine Signature 30-2, Consonance Cyber 845 and NAD M12 preamp.
