Just to add my 2 cents to the discussion:

I owned the NAD C352... It certainly has loads of power (NAD and Rotel are notorious for understating their actual output power)... Also you would be in no danger of it making anything sound harsh...

My complaint with the 352 is that despite all the great reviews (which is why I bought it back in the day) I found it to be utterly boring... If you have wild speakers then it might be a good choice to tame them, but otherwise I'd look for something else (Rotel would be my choice in that price range)...

Note: by" wild" I mean excessively bright and lively...
