Hi all
I'm looking to replace my old NAD C320 (not BEE) which never impressed me much - muddy sound and too much bass for my taste and my small living room (3mx3m). I was looking at discounted Arcam A70s but was warned they were simply too lean. Now I'm thinking about either the Arcam A18 or NAD C355BEE (to go with my NAD C525BEE CD player - also not very impressive). I really want more detail from my system and the What HiFi review of the NAD amp says that detail levels can be bettered by price rivals but doesn't mention which ones. The Arcan A18 looks like it could be a contender but has anyone actually tried it out yet?
Any thoughts?
