NAD Integrated Comparison
NAD 372 is better than 326BEE in terms of bass definition at lowever volume due to more wattage.NAD 372 is just a bit better than 326BEE in terms of transparency but you have to pay a few hundreds $$$ more for that improvement.I have used my 326BE... 
NAD 320BEE with PSB Imagine B
Short answer is yes the NAD 320BEE should.Going from PSB B 25 to Imagine B is an upgrade, not in the bass dept though and thus if you upgrade you should keep the PSB 5i sub as stated above.NAD and PSB have great chemistry together. And yes they ar... 
Pre-Power or Int Amp for Totem Wind
You can get those amplifiers named by Totem at a hefty discount if you buy them pre-owned (1-2 year old) here or on E Bay.The partner at my firm had won the auction on a McIntosch integrated on Ebay for 1/3 of the retail price last year and the or... 
Pre-Power or Int Amp for Totem Wind
Maybe going with Sim separate component is a good idea. All I know is Wind is a very, very, very demanding speaker. They require tons of power to sing well. Or you could email Vince at Totem. He designs the speakers and he could recommend a few am... 
cayin vs. primaluna vs. unison for totem arros
In terms of reliability, integrated amps are probably the most reliable piece in your audio setup. Personally, I like solid state better, they take less time to warm up and the bass is a bit more punchy to my preference.Just make sure you buy a tu... 
NAD Reliability
I guess it's very much the luck of the draw. My experience with NAD so far has been neutral. I purchased a cheap NAD amp that did not have any problems during 5 years of ownership and it still sounds great at my Mom's. I purchased a more expensive... 
NAD C355 BEE - Connection Options
I think you can get a used NAD C160 for roughly $250 or less. Or maybe you can get a NAD C162 brand new for $400, provided your local NAD still carries the C162.They are quite versatile. 
NAD Reliability
Per my local NAD dealer, customers return more receivers, DVD players, and CD players than the integrated amps.Problem is labor cost is higher in China now and that's forced Lenbrook to reach out to less reputable suppliers which can only mean one... 
Dynaudio C2 with Plinius 9200
Plinius 9200 is a very capable amp that can drive the Dynaudio speakers that you are thinking about upgrading with very satisfactory result for most people (9/10) If you can, bring your Plinius 9200 to your local Dynaudio dealer to give them a tes... 
Dynaudio C2 with Plinius 9200
Gentlemen:-))I think we can always agree to disagree since our preferences are different. If Mr. Dkzzzz thinks that only ATC speakers sound good, then I think we should discuss no further gentlemen:-)) I have owned Totem (Model One. Rainmaker), Dy... 
Mac 6500 integrated or NAD M3 integrated?
Second Mr Art80342 idea. NAD M-3 is a very capable amp that can drive any tough speaker loads and yet very musical. I like NAD M-3 because it is better built and better priced. Way cheaper than Mac. 
NAD C372 Integrated or Bel Canto s300i Integrated
Sorry, I meant NAD will soon ship the NAD C275 as a power amp. C375BEE is an integrated. 
NAD C372 Integrated or Bel Canto s300i Integrated
I never auditioned a Bel Canto so I cannot comment on that. I currently own a NAD C372 in my primary set up, driving a pair of Dynaudio monitors. One thing I like the C372 is that it is not excessive warm in the midrange like its less expensive br... 
Outlaw LFM -2 powered sub
Thanks Gs 
NAD C272 or Onkyo A-9555 or what? Please Help
Naim is better than Creek in terms of driving 4 ohm speakers as Dynaudio or Totem.
