Just ordered JBL 4312E monitors so I am looking to upgrade from NAD C375BEE.
Also, the speakers cables.
I was told by one Audiogoner that Kimber Cables works fine with JBL. Budget is $4000,00
for both,
Integrated amplifier and cables. Thank you in advance on your opinions
Problem with the NAD is that it has weird volume gain. With the speakers with
88 db - 90 db
sensitivity you can't go for more then (8 O'clock) volume After that is so loud. There is no way you can adjust it for quiet listening. I have feeling that
NAD Integrated amplifiers reach a maximum volume around
11-12 O'clock. JBL has 93 db sensitivity.
You could pad down the source as a frugal fix by using an in line device that offers 12 DB attenuation. this would allow higher reach and more action of the volume control
Or do a California dreaming system pairing of Quicksilver /JBL together has always worked well together. Best JohnnyR
