NAD C320BEE Amplifier

The object of our interest is the most affordable amplifier - NAD C320BEE. This is an advanced modification of C320 amplifier. C320BEE differs from the predecessor not only in its titanium-like finish. The circuitry has been slightly reworked, the element base has also been revised. Only the principles that NAD is trying to follow up till now have not changed.

The amplifier is equipped with a selector for sources and two tape recorders. There is also the input for end section and the output from the preliminary section. In addition to these connectors, trigger outputs to control other components of the system and a remote control transmission bus are installed on the rear panel. Only one pair of connecting terminals for speakers is provided.

The functionality of C320BEE extends the switchable equalizer as well as the supplied remote control for NAD components.

From the very first track C320BEE convinces of excellent dynamic qualities and confirms it with sophisticated bass. The most impressive impression is made by the informativeness of the mid-range. Be sure, when you listen to vocals, you will find many interesting discoveries! Voices are neatly focused in space. The breath is also transmitted realistically, but it is not always observed. In those moments when the general musical spectrum becomes more complicated, strong dominant bass and high-frequency components appear in the sound, reproduction seems to be heavy, losing purity.

The resolution in the upper range of this amplifier can be, generally, considered to be good, but against a very clear middle it seems to be insufficient, so classical music is played a bit poorly.
