[RF-7 ii - matching amp]

I am running mine with NAD C375BEE and it sounds very nice. Enough power that you could blow your windows out if you want, nice natural sound at normal listening levels.

Chuckster,

Which CD player did you get? Please post us your impressions after set up and breakin.

 

CD player is C546BEE. I will post some feedback once I have spent some time with it.

Thanks to everyone for the advice! I managed to find a spot to demo some of the options and decided to go with the NAD C375BEE. Got a great deal, $500 below list price. Also went with a NAD CD player. Will decide on the DAC later on, may get a Network Music player instead.

 

Speakers arrive this Friday, going to be a fun weekend! Thanks again for all the great input.

I recently got myself a pair of RF-7 ii's. I will be using these for a 2.0 music listening system only. I am hoping someone can give me some advise on an integrated amp to drive them. I am looking at the NAD 375BEE and the Cambridge Audio Azur 851A. Budget, must be under $2000.00 (CDN). Most music (from classical and jazz to hard rock/Metal) will be via CD, however in the future "nice to have"  would be able to send music from my PC/iTunes.

The Cambridge looks real nice, but I have heard some say they are too bright (??) so not a good match with the RF7. The NAD 375 I have read great things, not sure how I can integrate digital sources with it (external DAC?). Unfortunately I do not have a local dealer I can demo these with the RF7's. Any advise would be greatly appreciated, including other amps to consider. I am fairly new to this, thanks in advance!
