NVA stuffs are great for the price, although I don't like the passive amp too much!  The power amps are the one to go for, cheap watts per pounds and nicely build.

Re: andrews or clares help

May I ask why are you interest in buy them?  They were great as in a few years back but I haven't heard any of their latest stuffs at all (apart from weedy sound passive amp). For some reason I thought you were thinking of buying a 2nd hand gears rather than Brand new! 
I am not try to put you off by any mean, just wonder why?
