They gave it a solid 5 stars, if that means anything to some. http://nadelectronics.com/products/hifi-amplifiers/C-326BEE-Stereo-Integrated-Am plifier I'm curious to what it sounds like, when someone does hear it, I wouldnt mind knowing! |

Gold Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 2416 Registered: Jun-07 | Havnt heard it JJ but my dealer, although a bit peeved with NAD at the moment, claims the new NAD offerings slaughter that of the past few generations they have had. One thing to note about the What Hi Fi review is that it reviewed the NAD as an entry level amp, and claimed that any speaker over 1000 cdn would reveal it as such. Still for someone on a budget it would be a very nice amp probably. On a side note, it appears that What Hi Fi was not impressed with the new Rega amp. |

Gold Member Username: My_rantzAustralia Post Number: 2127 Registered: Nov-05 | First, I take review mags as a guide, not gospel. What HI HI seems very liberal in doling out 5 stars imo. I'm not knocking NAD, have enjoyed NAD components in the past. |

Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 2407 Registered: Feb-07 | I always thought being a "professional" reviewer would be a cool gig. You get manufacturers sending you equipment for free to enjoy. Of course, in return for their generosity, you have to give their products a glowing review, else the freebies stop coming. Am I too cynical? |

Gold Member Username: My_rantzAustralia Post Number: 2133 Registered: Nov-05 | With some Dave perhaps, maybe not so much with others. The problem with being a reviewer is that you have to give the stuff back - but then there must be offers for the right price as well I guess. |
