About the NAD C 375BEE
Experience room-filling sound with impressive musical detail and transparency. The NAD C 375BEE features a sophisticated design and beefy construction to bring out the best in all your music — from the lowest, wall-shaking pedal notes of a pipe organ to the delicate reverberation of a solo acoustic guitar. This integrated amp delivers 150 full-bandwidth-rated watts to each of your stereo speakers for powerful, undistorted sound, even during your music's most demanding passages.
Advanced technology for stunning sound
The C 375BEE employs many of the same high-end features found on NAD's top-of-the-line Masters Series components, including NAD's exclusive PowerDrive™ technology. This unique circuit automatically senses your speaker's impedance, then optimizes the amp's power supply settings to deliver the most dynamic power possible. This allows it to easily drive low-impedance loads, including many of today's high-end speakers, which often run closer to four ohms than eight. Plus, a patented distortion canceling circuit in the amp's output stage ensures your music stays clean and pure.
A strong, vibration-resistant build
Along with all of its advanced technology, NAD gave the C 375BEE a big helping of good old-fashioned construction quality. This integrated amplifier boasts a heavy-gauge steel chassis for added durability and vibration resistance. Its power supply, the heart of any amplifier, utilizes an interference-canceling toroidal transformer and heavy copper buss bars to channel enormous amounts of current to the custom gold-plated speaker binding posts. Additional premium-quality internal components — such as four pairs of discrete high-wattage output transistors per channel — allow the C 375BEE to handle prolonged high-power operation effortlessly.
Connections and convenience
This integrated amp offers enough inputs to connect seven audio components. Its modular design even allows turntable owners to install an optional NAD phono module for listening to vinyl. (Or, connect NAD's outboard PP3 phono preamp.) Two sets of main speaker outputs provide hookups for an additional pair of speakers. Separate preamp input/line-level output jacks let you use the C 375BEE as an independent power amplifier or preamp for future system expansion, or to easily add a powered subwoofer. And the included remote gives you easy control of the amplifier and the other NAD audio components in your system.

Features
Soft Clipping: NAD's Soft Clipping circuit gently limits the output of the C 375BEE to minimize audible distortion when the amplifier is over-driven. While Soft Clipping can be left on at all times to reduce the likelihood of audible distortion from excessive volume settings, you can also turn the circuit off for critical listening if you prefer.
Bridgeable: The C 375BEE can be bridged to a single channel, more than doubling the power output. When bridged, the minimum recommended speaker impedance is 8Ω.
Tape Monitor: If you own a 3-head tape deck, the tape monitor loop allows you to monitor recording quality as the recording is made.
Phono Input: From the factory the C 375BEE has no phono input, but the optional PP 375 Phono Module can be installed, creating an input that will accept moving magnet or moving coil cartridges.
Front Input: A 3.5mm mini-jack input on the front panel is labeled MP (Media Player); there is also an RCA MP input on to rear panel which is automatically disconnected when the front panel input is used.
Pre-out/Main-in Loop: Factory jumpers connect the main amplifier input to the Pre Out 1 preamp outputs. This offers the flexibility of inserting an equalizer, surround processor (when using multiple amps), or another type of processor between the two stages.
Dual Preamp Outputs: The second set of preamps are convenient for bi-amping speakers or adding a powered subwoofer.
Remote Control: The SR 8 wireless remote will control the C 375BEE and NAD CD players and Tuners.

I am upgrading from NAD C356BEE and WOW the power, music articulation is very impressive at this price. Paired with Monitor Audio BX-5.These speakers are very small, (5" woofers), sound like 10" woofers! I listen to all types of music and I don't miss a note!
