guys will the 326bee handle wharfedale 10.5? thanks

Yes it should. You will notice the difference if you compare it with an avr.

Sir newbie po ask lng if okay ba ang focal chorus 806v q sa nad 326/356 second choice q marantz pm6400 sino mas matimbang thanks

Both amps are warm sounding, but i will vote nad for having a bigger bass weight in sound which should match the focal chorus very well. The 326 should be enough to power that speaker.

sir newbie lang po, can the 326 be enough to power the psb image t5? room W X L X H is 13'X20'X9'. or will the 326 and B6 combo good enough for this room size. tia

Either speaker will do, and the amp should drive them just fine for typical listening levels.

highly agree with master stagea. im driving my t6 with a 326bee and i hardly notice the difference with it and a 356bee.

Sir newbie lang po, ok ba 326bee sa ma bx2?

luis · « **Reply #276 on:** Dec 12, 2013 at 06:32 PM »

nad 326 = warm with good lows
ma bx2 = neutral with good lows (this is me of course), some say a bit bright due to aluminum tweeter.

pwede but you need to audition. it's best that you hear the combo personally.

Difference between B6+326BEE sir?

Also with 275 Bee + 165 Bee + B6?

I feel ok na sakin ang B6's warm sound.
Small room (30 (square meter) / 4) = 7.5 m2

Am thinking of my final setup to be: 275 Bee + 165 Bee + B6 + (Rel T5 or SVS SB1000)

Stagea · « **Reply #280 on:** Dec 14, 2013 at 01:47 PM »

30 sq.m. is also 30 m2

rexFi · « **Reply #281 on:** Dec 15, 2013 at 08:35 AM »

^ Ganyan kasi pagkakalagay ko sa google. yan ang result may m2 hehe.

wag ka na daw magseparates master, it should be just the same as getting a 375bee. the only advantage of having separates if you'd like to mix and match, or play around with different cables.

I say go with your final setup... Its a sure winner... According to gerard, bukod sa mga tips nya sa tsiks.. Maganda daw yung t5 for music....

Not sure I haven't done a back to back demo between B6 and BX2.

Guys i have NAD 516BEE as source and NAD C275BEE power amps. eyeing a NAD pre amp but the NAD 165BEE is a bit pricey at around 40K, is it possible and is it as good to use the NAD C326BEE (half price

)as pre amp for this set-up?

Why not get a NAD 725BEE stereo receiver as preamp for your NAD 275BEE? Almost same specs with NAD 326BEE but with higher dynamic power, radio tuner and zone 2 option. I'm not sure about the price difference between the NAD 326BEE and NAD 725BEE though.

Heard the combo from a friend. Excellent match. Speaker placement is very important though.

ito nga brader match ko, medyo nabitin ako sa detail ang dynamics sanay sa signature ng rotel. pero isa sa napansin ko yun laki ng tunog at makulay nga talaga ang bass region considering maganda na bass ng RX1. issue ko yun Mid bitin ako. ano kaya, bili ako ng silver speaker wire para lang habulin yun details...

pa advice mga brader...

Well, kung midrange problema mo perhaps look at other speakers din. In general, PSB speakers excel in rendering uncoloured midrange. You can also look at Dynaudios.

As far as cables are concerned, im not entirely a believer but i do use van del huls that employ silver strands. What i can say is im more than impressed with my current setup consisting of nad375 and psb synchrony compared to my previous rotel+dynaudio.

Ganun po ba, sige try ko pa babad yun 326 sa RX1. Mid lang talaga ako nabitin, malambing (open), detailed at airy RX1 sa Rotel, pero hindi kaya ibigay ni Rotel ang laki ng tunog pati yakang yaka ni 326 i-drive si RX1.

Binili ko yun NAD dahil sa combo na Warm (amp) + Bright (speaker).

Try mo hiram muna sir. Tingin ko pwede naman mahabol ng speaker cable or IC yan. Kaso baka mas mapamahal ka kakatry.

If you wanted warm, you should have opted for a 40-50 watter tube amp. Then tube rolled to cater to the sound of your liking.

The Nad amp, from what ive heard in several systems, work best with PSB speakers.

Ive only heard a MA RX speaker once (RX1), paired to a 6l6 25 watter Dared tube amp in Toys for the Audio Boys store. The sound was ok, I would not say it sounded bright, and it had ample bass for such a small speaker.

If youre in for some of the best midrange, I suggest go for Harbeths or Proacs.
