C325BEE

THE PEDIGREE OF PERFORMANCE
The C325BEE is the latest in a long and distinguished lineage of amplifi ers from NAD. This pedigree assures you of an amplifi er that is technically outstanding and yet affordably priced. 

HISTORICALLY SPEAKING
The C325BEE traces it’s lineage all the way back to the NAD 3020 which was introduced some 30 years ago. The 3020 was a revelation at the time, setting a technical standard that astonishingly few amps, regardless of price, could even match, much less better. Like all great inventions, the premise of the 3020 seems obvious in retrospect. Make an amplifi er that is optimised for musical signals (not just laboratory test tones) and able to cope with the complex requirements of real loudspeakers (not just laboratory loading resistors). This led to NAD’s redefi nition of how an amplifi er should be designed and exactly how much it needed to cost to exceed the expectations of music lovers. Terms like “Dynamic Headroom” and “Peak Current Capability” that have attained a permanent place in the audiophile lexicon were coined to describe these incredible NAD amplifi ers. 

THE SOUND OF MAGIC 
What is the “magic” that makes one amplifi er sound so much better than another? It all comes down to the experience of the design team and designing the amplifi er for its intended use; no more, no less. An amplifi er with Dynamic Headroom sounds “open”, “effortless” and “smooth”. The machine magically disappears and the music emerges recreating the atmosphere of the original musical performance. An amplifi er with high Peak Current Capability has the “rhythmic punch” that gets your toe tapping and your heart pounding. It recreates the soul of the music. If an amplifi er cannot produce enough current to cope with a real loudspeaker the sound becomes “thin” and “fl at” lacking the third dimension of live music.
