Best Speakers match for NAD C372

Luciano33

Can you explain what you mean by Rotel SS receivers not being warm? I just went with a brand new RSX-1057 A-V Rotel receiver and I find it very warm. I use it more for music than HT and it is very musical and IMO, warm. Can you explain? You may just have heard that and assumed it. Not true IMO. I believe NAD and Rotel are very comparable. Having said that, I would recommend you look at the new B&W 684 floor standers (2-1/2 way) which should just be around your budget. Excellent performers with features and technolgies taken from their more expensive 800 series loudspeakers. Another great line is Focal. The 816V is a 2-1/2 way floorstander. I listened to a pair back in April and was highly impressed. For $1K, you'll probably not get a high quality 3 way floor stander but 2-1/2 ways are great too. That's what I have and love them (B&W DM603 S3's). Thanks.

I think NAD is a bit warmer than Rotel and I have owned NAD and now own Rotel..........I think Rotel has a crisper more detailed sound and NAD has a bit more warmth so you cant get it asll in that budget, with NAD I had ADS floor standers from circa mid 80's thst had 2 7-8 in woofers a mid and tweeter but I cant recakk model but I will look them up, I remember though that they sell for around $600 used.

If you are interested in trying something a little different, Ohm Walsh series speakers match up nicely with NAD. Micro Walshes can be had new in the price range you are looking for.

The most salient aspect brought out the Stereophile and Absolute Sound reviews of the C372 is that it is the most neutral NAD and NOT warm in the NAD units that precede it. I agree it is an incredible bargain.
