NAD vs. Cambridge Audio

I disagree w/ most of the generalization on CA posted here. I find it tuneful w/ outstanding PRaT, creamy and articulate, w/o a hint of harshness in my system. Bass does not take front stage but it all there and very definable. It's sound reminds me of Linn w/ a very intimate and involving sound. I've owned NAD briefly, and have heard NAD at many other times and find it course and rough around the edges. Just my 2 cent.

We just did a head to head with a NAD 375BEE and a Exposure 2010S. The source was a Rega Apollo and a NAD 565. Rock and blues were used. The NAD and more bass a slightly more drive but the Exposure had more detail, larger stage ,better defintion and depth. The NAD came off as slightly warmer while the Exposure wa more neutraland liquid. The NAD seemed a little rough asnd not as transparent. I could see the NAD having a slight edge if one listened to Metalica all day. The Exposure sounds like real music and made the NAD sounmd somewhat mid fi ish. Sad part is I wanted the NAD tto wib. keith

Using the Cambridge 640av.2 which Matches well with my 740c the sound is clean and musical,without being to bright or harsh,IMO. But i dont think ya can go wrong with Nad. Larrybigbird.

Exposure is more expensive than the NAD 375BEE and a better mid range should be expected from a more expensive amp. Besides, I don't know if Exposure are comfy driving 4 ohm load speakers like Totem & Dynaudio.

NAD and CA are both entry level and they are both good for the money.

My Dynaudio demands decent continuous wattage so my Dynaudio dealer recommended NAD and indeed they sound very good together.

NAD sounds warm and that could help with speakers that sport metal dome tweeter like your Paradigm Studio 20.

Anyone owns Dynaudio speakers & CA amps? Can you please share with us how well they partner each other?

When I shop for an amp to partner with my Dynaudio, I spoke to Dynaudio N.A and they said that NAD can partner well with Dynaudio which has been consistent with my experience.

Thx
