NAD D 3020 with Amphion Argon 3

[hybridauth_Facebook_624348515]

Hi guys I am a newbie to Hifi. Someone recommended buying the NAD D 3020 as a start and pairing it with a suitable speaker. Would the new NAD play well with the finnish Amphion Argon 3 which I want to buy.

Welcome to the forum,

There is no reason to think it would not however your main concern should be will the Argon 3's sound good in your room?

I take it you have no chance to audition these? You might find they need an amplifier with a fair bit more 'power' that the NAD can provide if higher volume levels are required. (Recommended is 20 to 150 watts per channel)

Why the Amphion's over a more 'mainstream' brand I wonder? Have you seen a cheap deal or something? I'll bet there are not many on this forum that have actually heard these speakers.

I talked to someone at hifi shop near my place who told me that the Amphion Argons are the best bookshelf speakers he ever heard at its price range. The guy sells most of the bigger name speakers.

I finally settled for the wharfedale diamond 122 with the nad d 3020. The nad d 3020 sounds better from its optical input than the others options.

I am using a asus zona sound card/ headphone amp which has digital out using a toslink cable.

The combination between the nad n wharfedale is stunning to say the least. This is my first hifi system n my visitors are left open mouthed each time they come to visit n listen to their favourite tracks in flac format.

Users of the nad d 3020 should try using a toslink optical connection with a sound card (asus zonar) n see the improvement in sound from the d 3020. The headphone amp also improves using toslink cable/optical
