For over thirty years NAD have been associated with some of the finest budget amplifiers on the market. The NAD 3020 is one such legendary design and the very amplifier from which today's C325BEE descends.

Despite its faultless lineage, the C325BEE isn't about to rest upon its laurels. With technical direction under the supervision of electronics supremo Bjorn Erik Edvardsen, the C325 features a raft of enhancements designed to make the C325BEE sound the best in its class. Key to these is NAD's PowerDrive technology. This boosts dynamic power so that even though the C325 BEE is rated at 50 watts per channel, peaks of up to 110 watts can be reached when required. The result is an amplifier that sounds a great deal more powerful than its conservative rating would initially suggest. An innovative "BEE clamp" system improves the amp's stability thereby reducing distortion. Surface mount technology, optimised board layout, a new DC servo and NAD's famous Soft Clipping all help further the cause of the C325 BEE being amongst the best sounding amplifiers in its class.

Of course, it's not just sound quality that has been at the heart of NAD amplifiers' appeal, but also the blend of features. Here the C325 BEE excels. In addition to 5 inputs and 2 recording loops, the latest NAD amp also has a front-mounted 3.5mm socket - ideal for an MP3 player. In addition to this there is a pre-power split that enables either an improved pre or power amplifier to be fitted. A full NAD system remote control is included. Unlike some rivals, the NAD's tone controls are designed not to distort the essence of the sound and are also defeatable.

Quite simply, the NAD C325 BEE is every bit the class star that its predecessors have been. It still mixes sound with features like few others, and will provide a compelling listen for many years to come. Don't just take our word for it, though.
