| Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions? I forgot to mention, I don't understand why NAD can't make an integrated such that the preamp gain requires so much attenuation that the amp is at capacity when volume is at ~12 o'clock. | |
| Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions? Well, I compared my 326 to the 356 driving a pair of Esoteric MG-10s in a 12x15' room. Not surprising they sound more alike than different. I agree that the bass might be a little tighter with the 356.I do believe that for my outside system I will... | |
| Jumpers for Integrated Amps: What are you guys using? Thanks for the feedback. I may try those jumpers on my NAD. Bottom line, cables are system dependent. Copper vs, silver, braided vs. solid core, dielectric, shielding..., Good luck in your cable search. | |
| Help choosing Marantz integrated amp upgrade Focus on finding the right speakers for now. Once found start another thread with focus on electronics. Good luck in your quest! | |
| Help choosing Marantz integrated amp upgrade You are welcome. Given that you don't need a USB input your options for a DACs increases, many high quality older used ones go up for sale much below original retail. | |
| Ever sit down to listen and just say wow? Greg, yes it is fun to share some 'wow' with music lover friends. Mike | |
| Help choosing Marantz integrated amp upgrade I agree with auxinput, however one thought might be to explore the speaker market prior to purchasing a amplifier. Then you can select one based on power requirement of the speaker. What digital outputs does your streamer have? | |
| Ever sit down to listen and just say wow? Many times! It is what makes putting the effort into developing a system worth it. | |
| Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions? I look forward to your report. I just received a 356BEE yesterday and will check it out today and report back as to what I think compared to the 326BEE. | |
| Looking for an inexpensive Blue ray player My player came today. So far, so good. I made have paid a little more than I should have, however our local Best Buy did not have this model. | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! I own a set of the B&W 685s. I have been driveing them with the NAD 326BEE. Recently purchased the 356BEE to provide a little more power. Do not believe the 3020 is a good match for them. | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! I believe the Wharfdale 10.2 is on sale by Music Direct. Better than the 10.1s for your size room. I believe easier to drive than the Elac B6, which is otherwise a easy recommendation at it's price.Again, once one gets past the speaker/amplifier ... | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! +1 paraneer. The power requirement is what I was eluding to and should have expanded on with my post. There are many quality speakers in the $500 price range, few of them will be at their best with 20 wpc. Too many have overstated sensitivity rati... | |
| Jumpers for Integrated Amps: What are you guys using? I do know that Creek makes a phono card that can be inserted in place of the Aux input. I don't know wether insertion of a SHORT IC would make an improvement with this integrated, however can't believe it would hurt to try. In this case we are ta... | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! I am thinking that your Klipsch speakers are very easy to drive making them a good match with your integrated. In what size room are you placing this system, and how loud do you play it? |
