Did I damage my new amp
Not that I am refusing the dumb ass award but Arcam could ship streaming amps with the “max volume” feature for the Net source at 50 or so, and then direct people to that setting in the manual. It never dawned on me that my iPhone would do that. I... 
Did I damage my new amp
I’ve got a pair of Focal Chorus 714’s in my surround sound setup for my tv. I might just plug those into the 2 channel setup and have a listen. I’ll try that tomorrow sometime. That should get me a quick answer as I don’t think they have ever been... 
Did I damage my new amp
I hope so. Even though they are the out going speakers I figured I could sell them for a bit of cash. That’s not going to happen now. But if that’s the case, better the speakers than a brand new amp.

Seems to be more in the mid to higher frequency. The woofer surrounds are fine.    
Is my amp good enough?
In some sense the question is "is good enough good enough"...you certainly can get better, but at what price? Did you compare the Arcam to the NAD ?    There is no question your NAD is "good enough".. Yes, this was what I was alluding to in the... 
Is my amp good enough?
I was almost about to order the Arcam SA30, and might still do so as it’s on a great sale price until the end of December. However, I just received a reply to an email I had sent to Monitor Audio in the UK. They said I should be good to go with th... 
Is my amp good enough?
Yes thank you kairosman. I’m already doing my on line shopping and reading reviews in preparation. Cheers!

I never thought of asking for some loaner cables, good idea. I’ll ask when the speakers come in. I wouldn’t mind trying something a bit pricier that the AudioQuest Type 5, which right now I would probably go with.

Like those guys said- never been a fan of NAD but to each their own... And that was constructive to me, how?  
Is my amp good enough?
I am no different than most of us here. It’s an addiction. No doubt further upgrades will happen. But I will spend some time with the new speakers first, letting them break in. Then we will see. I may add a slightly higher grade of speaker wire t... 
Is my amp good enough?
Yes. Amp next. Actually the Arcam used for the audition was pretty nice. It was the integrated A25 I believe.  
Is my amp good enough?
So I just came back from the audition. They used the lowest Arcam model available which the salesman said would be comparable to my  amp.    Absolutely amazing! I was totally blown away with how much better they sound vs my 20 year old Silver 10’... 
Because the word TECH is there.
Ok, so that answers that. Cheers  
Is my amp good enough?
I think the point many are trying to make is that you may want to go up the chain in terms of sound quality once you have had the speakers for a bit. Trust me, watts are not just watts, both amps and preamps make a big difference. There was alway... 
Is my amp good enough?
Yes, well..I have had my caffeine fix for the morning but have also realized I have finally caught my wife's cold. Hence the grumpy mood. I think new speakers are in order to cheer me up. So the cold will not stop me from going to the shop to audi...
