About the C325BEE
The NAD C325BEE integrated amplifier delivers 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms with the ability to drive 4 ohm speakers easily. It features PowerDrive technology for optimal power supply adjustment, BEE Clamp for preventing thermal runaway and improving waveform fidelity, and Soft Clipping to reduce distortion. The amplifier has a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz with ±0.2 dB accuracy, total harmonic distortion of 0.02%, and a signal-to-noise ratio of 100 dB at 1 watt. It includes seven line inputs, two tape loops, a preamp output, and a front-panel 3.5 mm input for portable devices. Tone controls can be bypassed for a pure signal path. The unit is compact and robust, with a metal chassis and a full-system remote control. It lacks a built-in phono stage but supports an external phono preamp. The sound is smooth, with rich midrange, authoritative bass, and good dynamic and spatial performance, making it a highly regarded amplifier in its price range.
