I have the NAD 356BEE in a second system. Previous to that I also owned the 326BEE. I made the swop for the extra power. Just enough to make it easier driving some speakers. The LS50s would probably be better served with the extra 35 NAD watts.
NAD D3045 vs NAD C268 for KEF LS50 - which amp for greatest synergy with KEF LS50?
The D3045 is $699.99 and the C268 could be gotten for about $630.
C3045 has HDMI port and built-in DAC. C268 has balanced XLR input but needs external DAC.
I do have an external Xiang Sheng DAC-05A (dual burr brown chips, balanced XLR).
D3045 is more compact, and likely lighter. I believe it also has a remote.
Damping factor for both appear to be > 300.
I'm trying to determine which would have better synergy with KEF LS50 speakers and can bring the best out of them.
Thanks in advance!
