for the NAD C-270
Definitely not one of the more elite amps.However,for the price I consider it one of the best sounding amps.Especially,better than Adcom and Yamaha in my opinion in the same price range.Has very weighty sound,highs are on par,good midrange sibilance,and clear base.I think this amp has around 40,000 microfarads of capacitance but it still delivers well.I have always driven two pairs of 8 ohm towers and/or two pairs of bookshelfs with it--clearly showing no sign of weakness.I dont think I would use it to drive two pairs of 4 ohm speakers though(stick to only one pair of 4 ohm).It also has an adjustable gain control for pairing different preamps along with two pairs of speaker binding post on the back.I have no remorse bying this amp.It's affordable,sounds good,looks good,and price per dollar performance cant be beat.If you operate on limited funds as I,then this is the amp for you ! I plan to hang on to this one for awhile ! NAD from what I have read has had some quality control issues with their cd players and receivers lately, but fear not with their amps ! I also own their c440 cd player that works fine.Great company that produces nice sounding no nonsense products.
Product Weakness: none for this affordable price Product Strengths: very good solid performance and fair price
