"Good build and value"
while the amp sounds great its build quality is pretty lacking. I have some cheaper CA gear, and compaired to there near full metal front, the Nad cheap plastic front comes over very badly, it really does feel very cheap in comparason.
But...that asside its hard to find anything wrong with it at all - worth every penny.

Dear Clare Newsome, how does the NAD C326BEE compare to Rega Brio 3?
Thanks in advance

I just installed my first Hi Fi System using the NAD C326BEE + NAD C545BEE CD player + KEF IQ5.... (I based my purchase decision on the reviews and comments for these products on WHF and my subsequent auditions of the same)... the clarity and the depth is fantastic for this price (1,100 Pounds)
the speakers have the punch, the acoustics are very nice and music really fills my room up,...overall i would strongly recommend this combination if your budget is ~1000 pounds, good cables/interconnects also help.
Now, while i prefered the Monitor Audio RS6 speakers to the KEF IQ5, the reason i downgraded was this comment "will get found out with better equipment" makes sense to combine a NAD355 or CA Azur 640 with the RS6 speakers but this calls for a higher budget and i would believe should deliver better sound(I did audition this combo too)

looking at NADs online manual, looks like this amp has only one set of speaker outputs, not 2 as listed here and the May 2009 mag.
Am I wrong in this ?

Speakers in particular - as we say in our review in the May issue: "if you keep your partnering speakers below the £500 mark, you'll find this amp to be nigh-on flawless".

Will get found out with better equipment???
Is that source or speakers??

I don't understand this. How can it sound worse with a better source, for eg?
Last year's Award-winner still has what it takes, delivering an expansive, convivial sound and a solid spec
