Strength:
Purchased a used C270 to bridge to mono to match my existing C270. What a masterpiece and a bargain. I can't believe the difference bridging this amp makes to the overall sound. The NAD goal of bringing the best sound to the masses without the unnecessary bells and whistles stands out with this unit. I am looking into recapping these masterpieces and having them for another 15 to 20 years. Vintage Hi-fi lives and thrives! Can't wait to try them with an upgraded DAC and FLAC digital files. After the recap I would like to compare them with Bryston amps to see if the price and 20 warranty is worth the thousands of dollars extra. Would love to compare these to the NAD Master series amps as well. Weakness:
The only weakness I can note is some of the build quality. Power cord could be a better quality. Power, bridging, soft clipping, and input switches could be better. Purchased: Used

I have loved sound and the likes of Adcom, Counterpoint, Carver, Audio Research, Acurus, Sim Audio, Emotiva and Cary for close to 30 yrs now. Recently I had to part with my Cary due to financial difficulties so I purchased one of these after reading lots of reviews and I must say "WOW" this amp is a stone cold killer of a bargain! Now comparing It to the likes of the Cary or Sim Audio, Audio Research it unfair simply because they are much better but at 5 X 10 times the price or more. With that said this amp would and does hold it's own in every way! The reserve power and depth of the soundstage is simply amazing at this price point and honestly you will have to spend 5 X the price to get better. Love it and have purchased the 2100 for my center channel and bridged it. My Cary was 200 X 5 compared to 120 x 2 of the c270 and I have had to adjust the decibel level down by 2 with the NAD's compared to the Cary.. Highly recommended!! |

I use 4 of these for my bluray 7.1 system. It sounds amazing this is clearly one of the best amps ever made for the price tag. Nad really got it right even with the new c7320 and the c272 the c270 and c370 still sound better. There is so much power and clarity in these amps. Is there anybody else out there who has used it in a 4 amp 7.1 surround system. I would love to hear your views |

Strength:
Has 2 pairs of speaker post and adjustable gain to match any preamp on the planet.Provides a nice warm sound.Has no problem driving two pairs of speakers that are listed at 8 ohms.I would not advise doing this with 4 or 6 ohms though.
Weakness:
I wont fault NAD for this but once the smaller caps start aging the amp has to work harder and forces it to get warmer temp wise.This applies to any piece of older equipment due to age.
Update: Now owning this amp 5 years later from my last review and still going strong.It was running a little warm so I changed out 95% of the tired smaller capacitors from 1uf to 2200uf.This restored the dynamics and lowered the overall temp of the amp.It sounds better than new and is driving two pairs of modified Polk bookshelfs.
