NAD C315 BEE vs. Trends TA-10?

The Trends is the best of the T-amps I tried. It's freaking AMAZING!

Little late to the party here, but I've owned NAD C340 and C350 and IMO any Class T amp is in another league (I've owned the Super T Amp, Trends TA-10.1, and Virtue Two). A lot more refined, better soundstage, smoother, etc. NAD is probably better if you like hard music. You definitely need pretty efficient speakers, though. 88 dB bare minimum in my experience.

I have listened to the 315BEE a few months ago, driving a pair of Monitor Audio Silver RS 6 and later a pair of PSB T 45.

It is a very capable amp, very musical provided you carefully match the amp with fairly efficient speakers, not the Totem Mani 2 of course.

The little NAD 315BEE is great for an apartment. What I like about NAD 315BEE is that it sounded organic, neutral, and was able to drive any tough speakers out there.

If you got the extra $100, go for the NAD 325BEE.

Usher and PSB monitors will sound great with NAD 315BEE.

PS If I got a decent bonus, I will pick up a 325BEE or 315BEE, just in case.

Both great. I think the Trends is awfully good (and NOT just for the money).

Thank you for the responses, any suggestions on speakers or cables for either the Trends TA-10 or NAD C315 BEE?

Tgrisham is correct on all points made. I own the Trends and for fun took it to Magnolia Hifi where we ran a $10,000 pair of Martin Logans. It was crazy, even fooled one of the salesmen into thinking we were running the Macintosh powered up. It is that good.

I was contemplating this issue two weeks ago and decided on the NAD C325BEE. I bought it online for $299. It will be replaced by a new model soon. It costs about $120 more than the Trend, has multiple inputs, more power, is more versatile if you will ever put it in other systems, remote control, balance and tone controls. I could not compare the sound side-by-side, so I bought the NAD. It is a wonderful amp and I am very happy with it. The C315 costs $350 or almost double the Trends. Some prefer Class D to SS, but I got so much more functionality from the NAD. Good luck!
