Speakers for NAD C370


I am looking at upgrading to new speakers for my system. I currently have a Nad c370 and Nad 521I cd player. I know a
lot of you have this amp and would like to know what you are
running for speakers
There are so many choices out there, I am a bit lost on this
Thanks!

I'm using a pair of Ed Frias DIY bookshelves with a tremendous effect. I really enjoy my C370 and think it does best with speakers which are generally brighter sounding. It would depend upon your personal tastes, but the DIY's are uncolored and open. Worth a listen if you know anyone who owns them. Good luck!

I have a NAD320BBEE driving a pair of Reynaud Twin IIs in a 'downstairs' system. these are excellent two way speakers, i've driven them with my high end system as well. Hard to beat that this price point ($500-600 used).
Hi!
I have the NAD C370 with the C521i driving the Dynaudio Audience 52 and they sound wonderful. Try the Dynaudio bookshelfs.
I set a system up for a friend driving Maggie MMG's with the 370. Very good, surprisingly so. If budget allows, something up the chain in Maggie could be even better. The MMG's are a real bang for the buck, and mate well with the 370.
Thanks for the input guys. I think the C370 has a lot to
offer for the price paid and looks like it can drive a number of speakers and types pretty well.
I used to have Maggies in the early 80's and I really
loved them. The one thing I am concerned about though is
my room size and shape. At 11x22 feet I have my choice of
a near field (don't like it) or a narrow hall. The narrow
setup limits the width of soundstage for bigger speakers or
so it seems by looking at the reccomendations for placement
in tests of the larger speakers I am considering.
Those are--Meadowlark Kestrel 2's, soliloquy 5.3, Thiel 1.6
Vandersteen, and finally Maggies.
I am currently using small Polk monitors and a small powered sub (Sony)and really need better speakers, but I will take the time to find the right type (floorstanding or
monitor) and size. I don't mind spending a little more on
speakers to keep and upgrading my amp later.
Whew, that was windy! Thanks again. ST
