Fading Display on NAD M3
I have the same issue with the M3. It seems NAD may have a quality control issues based on purchases of their products I have made in these later years. Also, the volume button on my M3 remote became very difficult to engage without continuous pre... 
Good speakers with the NAD M3
I have used Harmonic Technology Pro 11 Plus, Audioquest CV-8 w/DBS pack and Audioquest Type 6. All sound excellent with the NAD M3. 
New NAD 326 BEE Owner -Disappointed Help
I switched from an old NAD 2200/1130 amp and pre-amp to the NAD C372 after close to 25 years with the former. I felt about the same as you. The older gear had far greater dynamics than the new and for that reason I felt disappointed initially. The... 
Jumpers for NAD C370
I used the short (about 3 inch) AQ jumpers on both of my NAD int-amps and found them a nice improvement over the metal stock jumpers. I moved up to a very short pair of AQ Diamondbacks interconnects on one and King Cobras on the other to use as ju... 
What cd player to purchase for less than $1000?
Onkyo DX-7555 is great sounding and built like a tank. 
Voice. Most powerful and natural instrument.
The voice is usually the most important instrument in the mix 
Sold Polk lsi15 now what?

Apple TV and Brightness
My ATV 2nd Generation sounds dry, lifeless and unlistenable compared to my CDP. This was from day one. I tried two different toslink cables hoping to cure this with no luck. One cable (glass) accents higher frequencies but the overall sound is sti... 
Crossover in NAD M3
If I understand your question, the NAD M3 has two pre-out jacks. They recommend the use of pre-out 1 with a subwoofer so that the internal crossover of the amp may be set according to your main speaker's lower limits. Fine tuning is done with the ... 
Where to go after Polk LSI15's
Magnepan 1.7 if you got the room. You will get a larger sound display than the Lsi 15s. In my case the Lsi 15s are hard to beat without spending lots of money. I got my Lsi 15s as demos at about 1/3 of the retail price. 
Most soulful female vocalist
Chaka Kahn. She is a true singer who is very highly regarded and has an excellent track record since the mid seventies. Excellent voice and vocal control. Her vocals always display her connection and emotion with the accompanying musicians/music. ... 
portable ipod speakers?
One of the Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Radios should work. Small with good sound and includes a built in iPod dock. The price is definitely right especially for the lower end models. 
Best amp for Polk LSi15
I have been using the Lsi15s with a NAD C372 going on three years with no desire to upgrade this combo. Very balanced sound, resolving and involving in my opinion. This applies to all listening levels. 
Audioquest King Cobra or Wireworld Equinox 6
I use King Cobra and they present a full and detailed sound. Never a thought of changing cables since obtaining these. I have used NAD gear about 30 years and in my opinion the King Cobras will allow you to hear your systems full potential. I have...
