| NAD C272 or Onkyo A-9555 or what? Please Help NAD 325 BEE is a capable amp. However, its pre-amp section is not as good as its power amp section. Maybe you want to try a used NAD pre amp 160 or 162.I have auditioned a pair of Monitor Audio RS 6 driven by a a NAD 315 BEE. They sound great toge... | |
| NAD Amp Question Bananas are no fussy. Plain wire that is 14 gauge or smaller will fit with ease. No spades...to much hassle.NAD 352 is beaucoup amp for less than $500. Great amp choice. | |
| NAD C315 BEE vs. Trends TA-10? 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 Man... | |
| NAD 304 - Best SS amp ever? NAD amps are pretty good deal for the money and I agree with you there. I have owned 3 different NAD amps so far (C352, C372, and C162/270 combo) and currently have 2 NAD amps(C372 and C270). I even purchased a NAD M-15 for an HT plan but my girlf... | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff Mr. Knownothing:-))Agreed with you on the Naim integrated. Sim and Naim are simply above NAD level period. Creek is also good. I am a cheap guy:-)) and had good experience with NAD C352 so that was the reason I recommended NAD. I do have the C162/... | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff Mr Audiobroke:-))There must be a reason you no longer sell Totem sir:-))Maybe you could tell them to come up with new models that outperform the Usher S520 and Dynaudio Focus 140 soon.Kind regards | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff If you like reasonable price separates, I would strongly recommend NAD C162 pre-amp and NAD C272 power amp. I am driving my Dyn DM 2/10 with the C162 pre-amp and a used C270 that I purchased from a cool Agoner. The Dyn just sing beautifully, drive... | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff Don't mean to hi jack the thread here. Sorry Gs:-))You can check with yout local Totem dealers and they will tell you how many times that the Arro and the Rainmaker outsell the Model 1 and Forest. Like everyone else, I was looking for a good deal ... | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff Mr Audiobroke:-))Of course, beauty is in the eyes of the beholders so I am not going to make any comment on that. Our perceived value are simply different.Regarding your definition of cheap speakers, I think I could still get good sound without ha... | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff Seems to me that Totem has spent so much time voicing the midrange on the Model 1 to make sure that they would be the most revealing speakers on the market that Totem's decided to sacrifice the bottom end (similar to listening pipe organ music in ... | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff Mr. Rumadian:-))The mark up on most of Totem producst is high so I would not buy Totem products again with the only exception of the Storm:-)) | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff Second on Naim integrated. Personally, I think Sim is more engaging than others but I don't like their prices. Classe is a better deal because they are not that insanely expensive as Sim but they too are very musical. NAD M-3 is also a good choice... | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff Sorry folks I don't want to hi jack the thread here.Mr. Rumadian don't get me wrong sir:-)) I used to own 2 pairs of Rainmakers (my brother inherited them now) and recently switched to Dynaudio DM 2/10 to keep things simple. But I still own a Tote... | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff Classe and Creek integrated are good ones too. You just need to ask your dealer to loan you an integrated Classe or Creek to test them with your Sttaf.When in doubt, trust your own ears. | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff Sim I 7 (integrated) or Classe CA 2200 (separate power amp) are great choices if you have cash to burn. I have auditioned these amps driving Dynaudio Special 25 and B & W 800 with ease and the sound quality is simply stunning.Brand new Sim I 3... |
