    Nad d3020 with B&W 685 s2 or ls50

    I decided to keep the nad d3020 and have been really happy with it. I definately believe that I could spend more and get better sound, but it's such a great unit, and it seems you have to spend twice as much before there are comparable products with genuine power gains. Right now if I got a...

    Nad d3020 with B&W 685 s2 or ls50

    Al ears I might. The process is Aus is all about whats reasonable so its not always clear cut. Ultimately the ACCC would state the relationship is between myself and the retailer, and its the retailer who has to remedy the situation. A missing advertised feature would likely fall under...

    Nad d3020 with B&W 685 s2 or ls50

    I bought it from a local vendor, the same vendor I picked up my recent sub purchase from. They probably would take care of me, but I feel for them; I have had the unit for years now and its otherwise a rad little amp. I did tell NAD how upset I was which was when they replied that I should buy...

    Nad d3020 with B&W 685 s2 or ls50

    Hi I finally added a sub to my NAD D3020 combo intending to make use of the 80Hz high pass filter. It doesn't exist. Despite reviews, whitepapers, and even the printed material in the box mentioning the feature, it does not exist. Confused I checked the NAD site, and the current PDFs make no...

    Is the Nad D3020 the answer?

    I too was going to reply with the pdf as evidence of 30W @8. I'm loving my d3020 paired with kef ls50s. I believe its a popular anp as it brings in a new crowd / generation to the realm of seperates. Prior to finding the d3020 I was only considering various active systems. The little amp...

    TEAC NP-H750

    Never seen it in the flesh but looks pretty cool. More traditional take On The d3020 but with airplay instead of bluetooth. I find airplay friendlier to use than blutooth as you can connect from multiple devices without having to re sync / pair all the time. One thing to note though it's 40w...

    Strongly leaning toward keeping the nad 3020 after listening at realistic volumes again :-)

    Nad d3020 with B&W 685 s2 or ls50

    Got the ls50 and due to the short depth was easily able to give it 300mm clearance from the wall which seems quite acceptable without using the bungs. Amp is a bit more interesting. Great features sounds fantastic at low and moderate volumes but low end disappears when pushed hard. I expected...

    Would the front facing port of the 685 s2 help alleviate wall proximity issues?

    Nad d3020 with B&W 685 s2 or ls50

    :-) I'm not offended I appreciate it, and was quite aware that not putting anything on stands would make many cringe. Which is the main reason why I posted. I know it's not ideal but how bad could it be? if I could demo in my own home it would be a no brainer, set them both up and see. Without...

    Nad d3020 with B&W 685 s2 or ls50

    Thanks I had a look and the ioata's have very limited distribution here. I found one dealer interstate, and the wholesaler is using a free email address. There is a dealer interstate but I would have to buy blind. One thing I forgot to mention is I also play guitar and ideally would make the...

    Nad d3020 with B&W 685 s2 or ls50

    Hi I've recently been looking to buy a new speaker and amplifier combination after years of mainly using headphones after having kids and wanting to play nice. I recently had to replace the tv and have an urge to complete the setup with better sound finally. I used to have a Dali Trio 5.1...
