Bros, any comments/suggestions on this ss amp? what can be the best combo (speakers, interconnect, cables) for this kind of amp?

it's a nice Integrated Amplifier.. the best buy at the price point it is in.

It's good to use with bookshelves and smaller floorstanders..
ie.. BW 602s and 603s

Im using the same amp with Paradigm monitor 3 speaker and soon to be connected to XLO PRO cables. It can drive my monitor 3 at ease with smooth, impressive low freq slam and detailed mid/high. Much better combo if use with NAD 521i or the NAD 542 cdp..

with my former NAD C521i hooked to C320BEE, the Mordaunt Short 914s or even the 902s sounded SO NICE when playing Stacey Kent CDs. he he he

kidding aside, they're a great combo.... in the same league as the Rotels' RCD971 + RA02.

Since NAD amps are already oozing with warmth and balanced tonality, try bright interconnects and speaker cables from the XLO VDO or PRO series to get detailed mids and fluid highs.

got this amp on home audition recently from studio system and using it with Arcam One Plus speakers bi-wired with AudioQuest Indigo for hf and audiopro for lf speaker wires.. i changed the jumpers from the pre-out to power amp in with Monster cable interconnects and noticed an improvement in sound...as of now source is a pioneer 667a and hopefully the NAD c542 by the end of the week

"impressive low freq slam and detailed mid/high."

so does the NAD amp tame the Monitor's Bright tweeters?

and did it tighten the bass ba?

one thing i hate about monitors kaya hindi ko sya kayang pakingan is the SLIGHTLY boomy bass. and ear piercing tweeters. Don't get me wrong- I love Paradigm speakers rin.

bro, i think addressing you with a "Sir" is a sign of respect and politeness considering that the other guy may not have seen you yet or had no knowledge at all on whether or not you're older than him. well, if addressing you with "sir" bothers you then... what would you like to be called?? ..... would calling you "ma'am" makes you happier?

'man' is good enough.

'you have a pm!'
or you got pm, man!

uh.. idunno.. that extra woofer... plus it's a 6ohm load... i think it's a strain on the amps... It MIGHT be okay- pero don't expect to make it go loud..

i suggest getting something higher than a 320bee
