NAD C316 BEE Amplifier

The best 'budget' amplifier that you can get... absolutely and without a doubt! Its distinguished NAD lineage is clear. This is pure NAD. And awesome for it! It's also very stylish, in that super-understated NAD way. Looks and sounds much more expensive than it actually is. Total winner!

I am not a what might be called a hi-fi buff. In spite of that, I have always wanted good quality, low noise with enough power to vibrate the walls occasionally and to make an orchestra sound like one. In all these respects I can say that the NAD316BEE gives me the best reproduction I have ever had from an amplifier. Along with the Warfedale 10.1's I bought recently I am perfectly happy with the sound I am getting. I can hear higher frequencies than I thought was possible due to age-related high-end drop off (in myself, that is). I value having access to balance and bass and treble controls (don't grumble, I said I wasn't a hi-fi type). Th only two things that niggle slightly and not enough to cost a star are, the remote is a bit useless in range and if you want to change input channel on startup you have to wait while the amp gets going before it will change input, which can lead to unexpected and potentially deafening blasts of sound when the volume has been turned up prematurely. But I can live with those small points as the rest of the package is so good.

Years ago this company had a bad reputation for reliability, but, I thought, surely they will have moved on since then, after all, how could they still be in business?This amp gives a lovely sound UNTIL it stops, which did not take it long, well within warranty. Arrangements for return were easy but the repair time was extremely lengthy, which I had seen coming so I had bought a 'nasty' Pioneer amp as a temporary substitute.When the Nad was plugged back in it worked for about 2 weeks until it went silent for the last time. So the nasty, but trustworthy, Pioneer A-209R is back.Never again NAD.

Great little amp. As always, NAD have done it again by giving a thumping good product at a very reasonable price.And thanks to the guys at Sevenoaks for a very speedy delivery.

High quality Hi-Fi sound on a budget!!Driving a pair of LINN Keilidh's no mean feat in its self......Nicely balanced sound at medium levels, all in all I am satisfied with this unit,great value for money.

I bought this amplifier to replace my 27 year old NAD amp. The new amp is brilliant. Has the advantage of a good range of controls. As with all NAD equipment, the build quality is first class and the performance is great.

This NAD Amplifier is first rate Hi Fi equipment. Its is quick and easy to install. Easy to use and produces good sound right across the range. For it price this has been the best equipment I have owned.

I've been running my TV/Speaker setup for 3 years off this amp and never had a single electronical problem with it. I've had it cut out a couple of times to protect itself, but its always worked fine again after that. Does the business. Running wharfedale 10.4's off of this amp.
