Decent power reserve.

At last, a decent remote control from NAD!

Not the last word in absolute detail. Slightly warm sounding with some music. Not much else.
General Comments
I've had this NAD C320 BEE since it was released around 9 months ago. I auditioned this amplifier against both Arcam (A65) and Sony equipment, and chose it for it's all-round ability and excellent sound quality. The Arcam edges it on detail and overall refinement, but at almost £150 cheaper, the NAD does a superb job.
The C320 BEE has plenty of power under the hood, and can drive a wide range of floorstanders up to deafening levels with alarming ease - it also comes with pre-outs if you feel that the given 50W isn't enough. A natural sound with any type of music.
Overall, this amp is difficult to fault and offers very good value for money. I'd say you can't go wrong, really!
