Power Amp Question

 How much power you want?

 Speakers 100 - 450W - 4 ohm and the C356 80 watts is too little. I am not sure.

200?

Depends on how loud you listen.

This little monster should do ya.

That's as much as I would spend before getting a better pre.

     Supposedly: your current speakers are fairly sensitive, at 92 dB/1W/1M.   

     Many SS amps will safely double their 8 Ohm output wattage ratings, into a 4 Ohm (nominal) load, which your speakers will present.

     According to the specs: your NAD doesn't, staying at 80 WPC, into both 8 and 4 Ohms.

     You might try a 200 WPC @8 Ohm amp, that you've confirmed will safely handle 4 Ohms (preferably: double it's output), with your Triads and see if they satisfy, prior to making any other leaps.      

                        If not: more efficient speakers may be your ticket.
