I thought I'd update things a little as I found the limits of the C326. I acquired some Totem Dreamcatchers, they of the 4 ohm variety speaker. I was experimenting with the little bookshelf because they sound so sweet and give a surprising amount of bass for a 4.5" driver.
I ran up the volume to about 11:00(try that on your Nad amp, it's loud!), and it went into protection. It kind of freaked me out! I cycled the power and it started right up again, no issue. I pinged another forum with this and the opinion was suspicion with the Nad's health. I thought maybe it was developing a problem.
So this evening I repeated the volume experiment after changing speaker cables and at 11 it went into protect again. I connected some 8 ohm speakers and tried to get it into protect with them, but even at 12(ear bleeding loud) there were no issues.
I've now had the Dreamcatchers back playing for a 1/2 hour at moderate volumes and no problems. I think I'm in the clear, but has any Nad owner put their amp into protection before?
