Just put this little system together as I wanted to bring my main system to our spare room as that's where it'll get used the most with me working from home and so I've replaced it with a NAD C320BEE I've had for years and some ex-demo B&W 685's I've just picked up from Audio T for silly money...
WOW...
Completely forgot how good the NAD amp is; bags of power and effortless sound. The 685's are still superb speakers (should know this is my 3rd set haha) and for me better than the MA RX1's which I listened too as well (but the RX2's will always be my fave standmounts but too big for this need)!
Cureently got the Commitments soundtrack playing through them and I'm singing my heart out whilst tidying up (wifes 30th this weekend so mugs here is doing the chores like a good little house bi**h I am)
The NAD works so well with the 685's; sounds fantastic with vocals. Already had my test tunes from Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Linzi Zaorski & Caro Emerald on as well as tracks with very deep, solid bass like Trentmoller, Mount Kimbie & Boys Noize...
Got it all hooked up to my Apple TV2 via a FiiOn D3 DAC (if you havent experienced one of these yet you MUST buy one; they're only £30 and sound fantastic) and streaming from my MacBook Pro & iTunes upstairs via AirPlay...
Effortless system
