Nad have been known since their inception as the champion of affordable proper hi-fi. I respect their cd players particularly. I have happily played a 512 for years and have a 542 Hdcd player in my main system as a second unit, second only to a Yamaha CD-S2000. For all the money that the Yamaha cost extra it is only a fraction smoother and more insightful. The NAD C 370 amp is much the same in how it relates to higher end competition in its power class and product category. The only reason I hesitate to give it the full five stars is that it lacks a phono stage, a MM stage would have been ok but this amp deserved a full featured MC stage. In Stereophile magazine their power test measurements got as high as 170 into 8 ohms at 1% thd. I cannot say if it was measured at both channels driven but it proves impressive specifications. It has a fast, dynamic and open sound that well compliments speakers that have low efficiency, say under 86db, like the Quad 77-11 bookshelves I have connected at the moment. At 10 plus years old these amps often need some attention to dry joints, capacitors etc. This occurs more with amplifiers that run hot such as the NAD C 370. At this price point, around $1300($Australian) it was a steal in its day. Adding the PH 1 phono stage would have rounded it off perfectly. Get an old one if you can and enjoy.

Great amplifier. I am pretty sure there is no amp in the high end segment with a better value for money.

When I sold my Harman/Kardon HK6800 I (obviously) did not want to make the mistake of downgrading. I decided to purchase the NAD C370 because I thought it would sound a little better and is able to deliver 120W @8ohm (just like the HK did).

The NAD C370 proved to be a big upgrade. Actually everything is better. (see good points)

It is driving my Infinity Kappa 7.2i's and they are singing like they never did before. The NAD is clearly in control and gets the best out of my speakers.

Also have the C350 which I also consider a great amp. The 350 delivers 60W @8 ohm and already shows a lot of musscle!

I think something can always be better but for the excellent value/money I give the c370 a 10 out of 10

I have now had my C370 for almost 2 years. I had been looking for a NAD for a while, and decided on the C370 for 3 reasons. 1) It's a NAD. 2) I needed to drive two pairs of speakers (in different rooms) and 3) I wanted the ability to upgrade at a later date with the addition of the C270 power-amp.

To start, I was driving a pair of Wharfedale Evo P30's and a pair of Evo P10's (in seperate rooms). The 30's have the ability to provide clear, crisp detail while still pushing out whomping bass. But - they need good power input. The NAD has more than met the challenge. The sound is clear and enthusiastic. Classical music sounds crisp and resonant, while pop/rock is hard and full.

The secret is that the NAD has oodles of power without losing any of the subtle detail, and never leaves the music waiting. Listen to Dire Straights "Brothers in Arms" and you feel yourself floating through the valleys; "Lark Ascending" has you hanging on every instrument; the heavy breathing in Enigmas "Mea Culpa" leaves you wondering if someone is sitting behind you, while Limp Biscuit leaves your neighbours banging on the walls ...! There is no music that doesn't sound great (although poor recordings will soon be removed from your collection as the NAD will expose poor quality disks).

After almost a year with the C370, I added the C270 power amp. In order to bi-amp the amplifiers (Bridging will trebble the power output and my speakers are only 200w) I removed the second pair of speakers, with each bi-wire to the speakers running from its own terminal. Whew, what a rush! At first the power was too much, so I left the C270 on for a few days to allow the unit to settle in. A week later, I was able to fully load the C270, using it to drive the base units of the speakers with the C370 driving the upper and mid ranges. The result - pure bliss. I can highly recommend the upgrade, but for your own benefit only do it once you've had your C370 for a while - it's nice to see the difference that the addition of a power-amp makes once you know the musicality of your hifi.

In summary, the C370 is a very capable and versatile unit. If you are like me, you will be quite happy not to have a flash-looking unit when the music is this good. The NAD is plain and you hardly notice it sitting there - understated. For the money (and at twice the price!) there's nothing better.

I am in the process of buying another NAD, this time the C350 so that I can run the spare second pair of speakers as a separate system upstairs. From what I know of the C370 and other NAD products, I am sure that I will not be disappointed!

Upon returning home from the office I was pleasantly surprised to find out that my wife had purchased my dream NAD C370 integrated amplifier, along with its matching amazing CD playing partner the NAD C541i.. First let me say that I have owned in the past several mega buck seperates and integrated's but never for the retail price point of $699.00 have I ever heard such exquisite harmonic balance throughout the whole musical spectrum! Words that come to mind are as follows: Fast, detailed, open, Dynamic and extremely robust! In this experienced audiophiles opinion a Glimspe into audio nirvana for the budget minded music lover.

NAD has a real winner here! Past, present and future, as I have one in my wife!

This NAD C370 is a powerhouse of an amp - one of the best things I've heard for the price ever. NAD, as always, has come through with a great new amp. For those who don't know, NAD has combined their C160 Preamp and their C270 Power Amp in one box. Presto -- The result is one integrated amp which blows the competition away. I've had the amp for a little over a month now. It is combined with a pair of Energy Speaker System C-5 Speakers. A highly recommended combination for anyone!

Reviews in magazines hint at the versatility of the NAD C370 Amplifier. You can use it as one side of a bridged super-power amplifier (continuous 2x300W) by plugging in another amp (C270) using the clever connection system. But 99% won't bother. In which case perhaps a lesser model would suffice? I'd personally go for the next model down (C350) if I chose again... That takes nothing away from the quality of this amplifier. It's now very easy to tell the difference between a well produced recording and one put together in someones garage! I'd say, if you can afford it - go for it... I'm very happy with it!
