General Comments

I have been using the integrated amplifier NAD C320BEE for 3 months. The standard look of the amplifier is good for me, and is real Hi-FI. The ratings of the C320BEE are honestly matching to its power consumption (2x50W - 230v, 1.5A). I have opened the case and found out that the amplifier has a very clever design inside, and good quality assembly. The toroidal transformer, big filter capacitors, and components are of good quality, and everything is done properly, with high respect to NAD. The sound of the amplifier has real HI-FI presentation. The first thing you can notice is musicality, everything is natural, well defined, and a little rounded. Such a sound is especially good for acoustic material and jazz, though quite different styles can be reproduced with the ease of a real professional. The highs are well defined, but not as airy, for example Marantz's, and not as bright as Yamaha's. The mids are very detailed and natural, and you will find many details unknown before. The bass has weight and drive, which is much appreciated in the music, but it is less impressive than, for example, the bass of the HK630 (Harman Kardon 1999). Anyway the NAD C320BEE is a very good amplifier for the price and overall sound quality, especially if you consider that NAD continues the good HI-FI traditions, while others forget them in the home theatre race. Thanks to NAD. 5 stars with confidence.
