    cambridge azur 340a and 340c
    or
    NAD C320BEE + NAD C521BEE

    is the more expensive (90euro more) NAD worth it? i've read some conflicting reviews saying one or the other is far better...
    and i'm really only going for entry level stuff.

    cheers in advance

    My preference would be the NAD every time. That model go a great review.
    What speakers do you intend to drive with it ?

    Have you listened to these ? I'm sure HN had a speaker that looked like these with a different brand name on them. The reviews on these are at both ends of the scale - they're either brilliant or rubbish - no inbetween.

    If those in HN are the same then they wouldn't be my choice - boomy bass - poor focus and hard to listen too for longer than it took me to reach the amp and turn it off.

    I'd think carefully here, go out and listen to some speakers with a mid priced amp, a good speaker will forgive an avarage amp but a bad speaker will just sound bad no matter what. It would be like having a 500 quid DVD player connected to a lidl 14" TV.

    Then again audio is a very personal thing, maybe you'll love the Aurals but listen to them first is my advice.
