Price Paid:
$0.00 Summary:
I have this NAD C355BEE for some months and before I had the Marantz PM60 OSE and this NAD was a major improvement over the Marantz! Now the bass is strong, deep and not boomy as it was before, while the midrange is transparent and revealing with excelent treble resolution. Voices are very well rendered, detailed and controled. Overall this is a crisp sounding amp, with a nice power output that handles my B&W 684.
I partnered it the NAD C545BEE cd player and the results are outstanding, this is a perfect combo, so I advise this amp with no restrictions and don't pay attention to those 5 stars that WHF gave it, it's worth 5 stars, maybe the person who listened to it had a curtain in front of the speakers!! Buy it with confidence

Review 2 of 4
Price Paid:
$0.00 Summary:
I've had this amp for over a year now. When I first got it I was amazed with the improvement over my old 2 channel yamaha stereo amp. I always thought the bass was too recessed with the yamaha. With the NAD, the bass is more visceral but without being boomy. It's just what you want. When a guitar is played the low frequency part of that music is conveyed with fabulous realism due to the excellent bass performance. Since day one I've also felt the midrage to be outstanding. It is articulate and clean. Midrange is the amps strong suit. I listen to acoustic, pop, folk, country, jazz. Anything that is well recorded with talented musicians. This amp is a good fit for this type of listening.
About 4 months ago I purchased the NAD C545bee CD player to go with this amp. WOW! The amp was good before, but this NAD CD player is the absolute perfect mate for this NAD amp. Voices and midrange perfomance is now jaw dropping with good recordings. However, this setup will reveal bad recordings. I've had to eliminate a couple of CDs from rotation that use to sound ok. But the plus side, many CD's that use to bore me are now newly exciting to listen to. For the price of these two components, I cannot recommend them highly enough. When paired together, they will compete with pricier alternatives. I could afford to upgrade to pricier amps, but truly have no disire to do so. I'm spending money on speakers instead...

from 25.10.2008 Summary:
Bought this Nad amplifier one month ago.I am the proud owner of two Monitor Audio BR6 speakers.Every owner of this speakers know they have metallic tweeters which of course are pretty hard to pair to.Anyway, tried a lot of amplifiers marantz,grundig,rotel.I must sayi was surprised to find this unit working perfectly for my speakers.Very neutral sound,great bass i would say perfect,very clear mids and not hard and annoying highs.The c355bee is also very user firendly and has a lot of rear connections.The tone controls are also perfect and very subtle.The only minus i can say about is the remote ir sensor,it just won't work from any angle and thats a minus but happily it has a rear Ir-Out connection so you can connect an outside sensor.That's beeing said it's a beautiful unit for this price and even for more and it perfectly defines the typically Nad sound.Buy it with confidence!
P.S: I've also seen the whathifi.co.uk review on this unit and it got 4 stars(wich isn't bad at all) but it could have gotten easily 5 and i personally don't agree with their point of view like for example"the bass can be too proeminent" or so Strengths:
Great look,solid built,two speaker outputs,many many connection types,tone controls two pre-outs,very very nice sound Weaknesses:
Remote doesen't work from all angles,ugly remote Similar Products Used:
Grundig FineArts,Marantz,Rotel,Kenwood

from BOSE Summary:
The C355BEE is another good amplifier from NAD. It has clever and generous design (just look inside unit). I have the black colour C355BEE and it looks perfect! The sound quality is good one. With this amplifier your system gets a solid bass, transparent mids and detailed but not harsh highs. I had some mistake with acoustic cable choice, but now i have found the proper one and can obtain the maximum performance from this amplifier. C355BEE sounds softer than lower model C325BEE , but with big speakers it outperforms its small brother and does really good job. C355BEE has impressively deep, defined bass notes, vocals are natural, just like singer in front of you, highs are good too, they are soft and not irritating. Thanks to NAD! Strengths:
Overall good quality of look, assembly and sound. Weaknesses:
Choose right cables and components to get maximal performance from this wonderful unit. Similar Products Used:
NAD C320BEE, C352 , C325BEE, Rotel RA-931, Marantz PM4001, PM34, Harmankardon HK630, HK650...
