Summary:
I figured it was about time I payed back AudioReview.com with some feed back on this integrated Amp. I have a pair of PSB Status Golds and was using a Marrantz 2375 receiver which puts out 125 watts of power. Sounds real "juicy" with any speaker but the problem was power....in the form of amperage,I believe, when the ohms drop on these speakers. What would happen at times of high loading there was an audible pop....this I think is overloading the amp, or clipping the amp as the speakers can really take a lot. Any way someone said the NAD was a high amperage model and could handle the PSB's. I bought the NAD C370 and upon hooking it up I selected the same CD's that brought out the popping noises on high volume levels with the Marrantz. I let it blast and....no popping....also noted there was much more punch I hadn't heard from the Marrantz. Boosted up the power beyond the levels where the popping was evident with the Marrantz and just got very clean loud music. The bass is way more solid and over all mid's and highs are about the same....which is real good as I like the 2375 lots and have it hooked in my bedroom. It has been a great performer and was revieved in Audiophile magazine, they concluded it's a winner....especially for the price/performance. No frills....just great sound with lots of muscle. Also has a balance knob that some of the high end receiver/amp's don't have which is nice when I sit off axis from the speakers. Highly recomended.

Strengths:
Real good sound overall with great bass punch. Price per performance.

Weaknesses:
None.

Price Paid:  $900.00 from Spinners

Summary:
I've owned this amp for about 5 years now and it's still just as amazing as when I bought it. I have it running a pair of PSB Image 6T's and they sound great. I borrowed a friends old bryston 4B and noticed only a small difference in sound quality. I was quite impressed considering the price difference.

Strengths:
Has enough power to never sound fatigued. Amazing value.

Weaknesses:
Not enough advertising to convince all those poor saps that buy Sony, Pioneer, etc. to get a NAD.

Price Paid:  $650.00 from Stereo Discount Cent

Summary:
Very good sounding powerful integrated at a reasonable price. More than a small touch of high end sound. Internal parts are of very high quality and placed where it makes the most sound difference. Huge, custom made torroidal transformer from Holmgren of Sweden.

Strengths:
Very powerful. Great bass, soundstage and clarity. Does everything very good, if not great for the price. compares favorably to units costing 5 times as much. Nice remote control.

Weaknesses:
Not the most fancy piece you'll ever own. Typical NAD grey color. Sub par binding posts in my opinion, although they do the job. You can have them replaced easy enough with high quality ones if you like.

Summary:
This is an excellent amp, maybe the best in their price range, it delivers deep and tight bass when the music asks it. The soundstage is good, and the image is awesome, when you hear the chemical brothers, you feel you are at a great rave. It has a very low distortion at high volume, so the music plays clearer. At first it sounds a little boxy, but after some break in period, it improves a lot. The mids it delivers are good also, female voices are awesome ( M carey, furtado) I don´t like the appeareance, but the sound is great, and the price too. My system: Nad c370 Onkyo dvs555 dvd player B&W Nautilus 805 Tributaries silver biwire cables (sp4bw) Acoustic research interconnects

Strengths:
Powerful, deep and tight bass, great mids and voices, very low distortion, natural, and neutral, great detail.

Weaknesses:
Appearance. Doesn´t keep the a b speakers button switched on, you have to turn them all every time you turn un the amp.
