NAD amp with knobs

[Highfive]

Hi
Recently I bought the NAD 328 (2x 50w) and 379 (2x 80w) amplifiers. Although especially the 379 is a very impressive power house, there are no controls on the machine! While at the 379 tone control and balance can only be adjusted in the menu. The 328 has none! Where are the knobs?? Am I the only one missing these hardware controls?

Another thing is the A/B speaker switch that seems to have disappeared from any modern and affordable amplifier. Yes, on the 379 you can connect 4 speakers, but NAD forgot to design a speaker switch…

Has anyone advice on NAD amps that have controls for balance/tone AND also A/B speaker options?

At the risk of seeming rude, it has never been easier to do a bit of research on line. Did you really not realise what you were buying?

My advice is take your time. 🙂

Welcome to the forum.

I agree, I like those nobs too. Normaly I do not even need remote control for the amp or my two turntables😂. I do not buy amps without proper manual nobs on their facade.

Having owned a Chord Mojo and Arcam Solo Movie, I choose traditional knobs over buttons and menus anyday. The Mojo is a failed design IMO, looks great, hard to use.
