The C355BEE is the latest in NAD’s range of affordable, yet very high performance Integrated Amplifiers. Building on the strengths of our highly acclaimed C352 (winner of What Hi-Fi Amplifier-of-the-Year and the Hi-Fi Choice Gold Award among many others), the C355BEE boasts many upgrades and refinements taken directly from the highly acclaimed NAD Masters Series M3 Amplifier. These include the application of Bjorn Erik Edvardsen’s innovative and patented Distortion Canceling Circuit in the output stage and BEE Clamp in the power supply. An improved tone control circuit and revised PCB layout has reduced distortion and noise to unprecedented levels. Taken together, these improvements mark a sharp upturn in performance that simply must be heard, to be fully appreciated!
