Hi there.

Anyone here compared these 2 integrated amps before?:) If yes do they sound different sonically? I know the C352 has more power but was wondering how about sound quality wise? Are they the same components except the 352 has more power?

Cheers.
Kenn.

i've heard nasty things on head-fi about the 320bee, so you might want to look there

Hi there.

Thanks for the reply. Hmm thats really odd as from what i have read in reviews they seem to be all praises for the C320BEE, maybe the headphone out is not good? But the speaker out is good?

I won't be using headphones though.

Cheers.
Kenn.

Listen I like NAD - but what i heard from the NAD 320Bee at my dealer is a disaster of an amplifier. My dealer carries NAD has for years and the 320Bee has piles of good reviews. But in our A/B comparisons this amp had serious problems creating a realistic soundstage - It resembles sounding out of phase - it's not but it gives the impression. My dealer asked NAD if they changed parts or suppliers etc which might explain why the amps he got sound like that - NAD told him everything is fine.

Let's put it this way - the sound was so bad I would rather listen to my Marantz 4300 Receiver - and that is bad enough IMO.

Ohh

The 352 an 372 are both good for the money - you might like something better of course but these are worth your time for sure. So might a 320Bee - do an ab against some others.

Hi there.

Yeah i will do a A/B against 320BEE and C352. The C372 is out of my price range unfortunately.

Cheers.
