NAD C325 or C352?

I'm very much a novice and am trying to slice together a first starter system. I picked up a pair of Dali Evidence 470 speakers at a good deal and am trying to decide on the amp. Budget is a significant concern and as I mentioned this is my first endeavor into the hi-fi world. I was thinking about getting an NAD amp (integrated, due to both cost and space). I have a two part question regarding this:

1. I've been reading comments about people talking about different components pairing (or not) well together. Does anyone have any experience to comment on the NAD amp being paired up w/ my speakers? Along these lines I'm also considering getting a NAD CD-Player as well.

2. Furthermore, will the C325 be able to drive them, or should I consider the C352 (or even the C372)? And in terms of the CD-Player, is the 325 best paired w/ a 525 or will it jive well w/ any NAD (such as the 542)?

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

I had 2 C370's once and will never forgive my self for selling them. The added power with a C 370 or 372 will better control the speaker and you will be set should you ever change speakers as they can drive almost anything. I think it is worth the extra money.

Try to replace the stock jumpers (between pre and amp section) with better ones (I used audioquests) for best results.
