    Nad/Klipsch

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Posted · Edited by KingOfTheNorth

    Im buying a nad stereoamp for my klipsch rp280f. I have narroved it down to 2 alternatives

     

    1. Nad 388 with BluOS and Hdmi 2000 USD

    2. Nad 368 with BluOS and Hdmi & Nad 268 Combo 3000 USD

     

    Alternative one has 150w/c, while alternative 2 has 300 w/c. My local "dealer" tells me I should go for alternative 2. Shocker! :)

    Will I notice any difference between the two? 

    Thoughts?

     

    "You can pair the C 268 with the NAD C 368 Hybrid Digital DAC Amplifier, and with both units bridged for mono, 300 watts per channel of distortion-free sound become available for your listening pleasure."

     

    Your help is appreciated :) Thanks

    Maybe look for an NAD C388 with the BluOS and HDMI modules.  Plenty of power and bass drive to run you out of your room.

    @willland I probably will go for the Nad c388, it has everything i need in one box. My local dealer advices  me to go with the c368+c268 and bridge them to 300w/c. That probably sounds awesome, but its twice the cost. I think the 388 is plenty. Thoughts? 🙂

    Thats good advice @Fish

    I found a used Anthem A2......

    Ill do some listening... 

    Maybe ill blind buy an emotiva from USA and import it to Norway. I read alot of positive reviews of Emotiva and  Klipsch. I dont know what kind of sound you get from Emotiva though. Anyone have any experience with that brand? Im thinking XPA2-Gen3 300W per channel or XPA-DR2 550w per channel :D

     

    Right now its between Parasound nc 2250 and Emotiva xpa2-gen3. They cost around the same here in communistNorway. Im leaning towards the parasound.

    Klipsch rp280

    Hi, Thanks for replies.

     

    Ill probably go for a stereo amp then.

     

     

    I want power, dynamic and fun out of the rp280f. 80% I use it for movies, gaming, party. I dont use it for listening to music much. 

    Any stereoamp that can run them with ease? And that fits klipsch?

     

     

    btw, north is Norway, and my budget is 1-2000 dollars. I would hate spending alot money and not being happy.

    Ive considered a cheap one. like onkyo 8150, or yamaha a701 or a801.(or maybe even primare i22) They all have dac.

    any thoughts? 

     

    Klipsch rp280

    Hi, im looking for a POWER to run my rp280f. Ill mainly use them for 80%movies, and 20% Music (electro, rock)

    AND yes, I will use them in Stereo. i have no room for surround yet. 

    My sources are a computer, and a playstation. I also want airplay and hdmi.

     

    My local dealer recommends me to pair them with a Reciever instead of a Stereoamp. He says the reciever will

    bring more dynamic than a stereo will. He recommends the yamaha rx-a860. And I believe him.

     

    I want to run the speakers with ease and get the most out of them.

    Question 1: Should I buy a A:yamaha rx-2060?  or B:rx-a860 with a poweramp? (emotiva xpa 2. gen3) or (parasound 275 v.2)

     

    The cost will be aproximately the same. Im leaning towards alt B. rx- a860 with the emotiva or parasound.

     

    But as you can tell from my crazy rambling, im a beginner, and im new on the forums. Can anyone help me? 

     

    Question 2: Emotiva xpa2 or parasound 275 v2?

     

    Thanks
