Any idea(s) regarding the difference in performance between NAD C375 from Roksan Kandy K2 or at least LIII?

hi S2N, for your GR10s, both amps would be great. imo, the roksan would sound leaner but with better openess and clarity from the mids and up...something that the GR10s already possess inherently.

personally, i would take on the NAD just so it wouldnt sound too open and analytical.
i would challenge the NAD though with a B&K paired with your GR10s.

Hi,

Thanks, but I wonder if the C375 is already available in the Philippines?

I also vote for the NAD.You can try looking for a used Naim Nait5i(not the italic version) on ebay or Agon
which usually goes around $800-$900 and I think is better than the Nad and Roksan.It's only 50w/channel but
the MA is very sensitive so I think walang problema.I have a Naim with Totem rainmaker in the living room and the sound
always amaze me everyday.Good luck bro.

Thanks bro', yeah I was in Saudi(2002) when I first heard the Naim @ Mate HIfi matched with Castle and Naim Speakers. Excellent sound kaya lang at the time lagpas sa budget ko.  I'll check it out, thank you once again.
