My NAD reciever has no sound , Any suggestions
In addition to the suggestions above, test a source which you know has material for all the channels, i.e. test tones.The response of the authorized repair facility is puzzling to me. The 7X5 series of NAD receivers has been out for what, maybe si...

You mentioned that you were interested in a pair of speakers, yet your receiver is a multi-channel home theater receiver. I will assume that you purchased the receiver with the intent of utilizing the multi-channel capabilities most likely for wat... 
NAD vs. Adcom
No doubt, some speakers are inefficent and thus require some 'ooomph' to make them sing. However, you may find that a good separate pre-amp may make more of an improvement dollar for dollar than upgrading your amp, especially since you are bi-ampi... 
addition of 2nd pair of speakers
Thanks for the reply, this has been helpful for me. 
interested in exploring classical
Someone on another thread recommended going to see live performances. I think this was a great recommendation. I think the physical presence of sound is an integral part of most music. One has to see a performance live to feel it. 
addition of 2nd pair of speakers
Doesn't the answer lie in the capability of the amplifier as it relates to the specs of all the speakers being driven?I know Linn products are well received and for good reason, nevertheless, I would recommend reading the manuals for your amp and ... 
NAD Integrated Comparison
While I have not used the 320bee, I have owned the C720bee which to my understanding is a 320bee with a tuner. As the upgrade bug hit, I added the C272 power amp but still used the pre-amp in the C720bee. Then when the prices fell, I ended up send... 
Divorcing..Splitting the cd collection..
Like T-bone, I too can not recommend copying the music. I find this thread quite ironic. By recommending a method to copy music, aren't we biting the very hand that feeds us?As an amateur musician, perhaps I'm a bit sensitive to this topic. Fortun... 
Replacement CD on a tight budget?
I am in a similar situation...looking for a player to play all formats with the exception of Blu-Ray or HD.I'm intrigued by the Denon 2930 recommendation. I would consider the 2930 to be old (3-4 years), particularly in terms of electronic technol... 
analog newbie questions...
Please provide your price range for both speakers and amp if you would like more specific help.Generally speaking, the NAD amp/PSB speaker combo represents a good package from a value standpoint. I'd suggest looking for a used NAD C352 and PSB T45s. 
Looking for speaker recommendations under $5K
I echo the advice given by Richlane and frankly, I can't believe no one else has responded similarly. If quality sound is what you are after, take seriously his suggestions. As for speaker recommendations, I am a fan of Aerial speakers. I have the... 
New amp or cd player?
If you "hate" the NAD CDP, then get something you like. Why keep it if you don't like it? But I doubt you'll improve the sound significantly if you stay within your price range.Have you thought about using the NAD CDP as a transport and purchasing... 
What should I upgrade first?
Thanks to all for your helpful responses. Now, I'm thinking of possibly making two purchases, a DAC and a tube pre-amp.I don't know much about tubes in general but especially not about pre-amps. I really liked the idea of the Monarchy M-24 especia...
