Bronze Member Username: OrnluPost Number: 31 Registered: Apr-04 | I posted this in the receiver forum too, but I realized that it's an integrated amp... so I figured I'd post here too. I have an Onkyo 8511 paired with Athena AS-F2's I have two very well powered subwoofers that completely handle everything sub 65 hz and I need to replace the onkyo because i don't like the "brassy" thin sound... I know this is amp specific because the athenas sing with our denon and even that's not an "amazing" amplifier. What I'm looking for is a RICH sound. Not tinny at all, that's what I want to avoid. I know that pretty much anything in the high end will handle this, but I need a non-bright amp to pair with the athenas. After researching this for a few months I've sort of settled on the C370 or 372 depending on what I can find cheap. (I'm patient). But I am always open to suggestions. ANy input? |

I favour the C370 for it's airey midrange but the C372 is even warmer. Both are great amps with slight plus-points for each. Probably easier to pick up a used C370 at the moment. |

Hence why I have a concert amp for my subs... Plus, I can't find any info on the C572. And I really don't see how it's going to cost the same as the onkyo.. I paid $125 for it refurb. |

Claus Unregistered guest | Sun King, from other threads it looks as if you are very much into NAD and have tried out several. I'm looking for an integrated amp with attack and drive; these days I have borrowed a Marantz PM7200 but think it lacks drive, but I like its mid and highs. Do you think NAD C372 or C370 would be better for the missing drive? |

Silver Member Username: DanmanQUEBEC CANADA Post Number: 430 Registered: Apr-04 | I am not SunKing but after owning many a NAD, I can say that the 372 would certainly respond to your needs. It has so much reserve power that drive is not a problem and its mid range is also very entertaining. |
