i have a nad355bee integrated driving a pair of jbl 4311 control monitors in my second system used outdoors in the summer the combo sounds great the amp also drives magnepan 1.6qr's it sounds beautiful also good luck

The JBL 4311 pro monitor is pretty much the same speaker as the L100--same drivers, same-sized box--but with the midrange and tweeter arranged for vertical orientation, whereas the L100s were arranged for horizaontal--or bookshelf--orientation.

That these low-to-mid-priced NAD amps work so well with Magnepans indicates that they have very low noise floors, reasonably fast risetimes, lots of current on tap, an even and musical tonal balance, and rock-solid stability into a 4-ohm load.

Get a used krell Kav 300I intergrated amp, can be had for $900.00 to $1,500.00 on the used market, 150 watts per channel, great sounding unit, Best bang for the buck on market for sound quality, I had one, I used it on JBL speakers, great sound!

To all the NAD supporters: With all due respect, all of that is bs. The stuff is unreliable. Not all of it, mind you, but there's a significant number pf units that are. Look it up in google. Type in "NAD Reliability problems"

Audiolabryinth: Sounds like a good choice.

Thankyou Dave_72, were not talking about some esoteric JBl speakers here, The krell Kav 300I would be awsome, and as far as power, Ralph said 60 watts per channel is fine, maybe, nothing wrong with head-room in the power, turn your knob up to where you are comfortable with, at lower volumes, the speakers love the power head-room, sounds full at lowest listening levels, and if you mate this intergrated to some 10 gauge speaker cables, well then, you are in for a treat!
