Hi Friends,

Require your views/inputs on NAD C352 Stereo Integrated Amp in terms of Musicality and listening experience.

NAD's are known for their Warm sound signature no doubt about that .If any of you have a personal experience listening to NAD C352 please share the same.

I am also planning to pair the NAD with mordant short aviano 6.Your comments if any on the combinations will be appreciated.

Hi There..

I own a nad c352 amp for 4 years. Well.... i wouldn't say that nad has a warm sound but its not bright and fatiguing at all. Laid back would be a better way to describe the sound.

Different NAD ampss have their own signatures. But overall, after listening to the following amps, I would classify the sound as warm and pleasant with no listening fatigue. Phono stages (when present) in MM mode tend to be very warm and neutral. Also they tend to filter some of the vinyl surface noice. Never tried them with MCs.

106-216thx combo
1020A-216thx combo
3020A
C320
304
306
326BEE
356BEE

You'd be surprised at this suggestion, but I'd choose neither NAD or Marantz to go with those Avianos. The best I've heard them sing is paired with a CA amp. The big boys would need some juice to spare, so try pairing them with a CA 650.
I've heard the Aviano 2 (Not 6 so YMMV) paired with my C326 and frankly the pairing was underwhelming at best. It was warm if you want to call it that, but it was muddy as hell and not such a great combination at least to my untrained ears.

I already listen with CA 650 and 651 amp,but I dont like that signature. that is the reason looking for Marantz or NAD.why I am towards Marantz,is I already have marantz avr,I like that combination .

I had a NAD C352 a few years back. It's a very laid back amp without much punch.
I had wrongly paired it with warm sounding Wharfedale speakers and I was not very much happy with the sound. If correctly paired with (b)right speakers(Paradigm,Klipsch??), the system will sound decent.

I have paired NAD with Wharfedales and love the sound in 'my' room. Very pleasing vocals / midrange.
