I have experience with an NAD 3150, and some Snell EII speakers. It was a very pleasing combo, and I liked it so much that rather than sell it I gave it to close friends. They play the system daily with their LPs and CDs, and I have somewhat regular visiting privileges.
The Snells, in spite the back firing tweeter, are placed in corners for the sake of furniture layout and owners preference. I think we used brown zip cord for speaker cables. Decent bass, not bright, and sweet vocals. It’s surprisingly good. 🥃
