Hey hello, i have a problem with my setup: nad c355 + kef r300
i sended a email to nad, and in the end nad says:
Hello,
Thank you for your patience.
Our NAD Specialist has gotten back to me with the following:
Hope this helps!
Kind regards,

i sended back another email saying i never get a protection mode, maybe because im a low volume listener... the max volume that i use is 1/3 with this nad, the amp just feel very powerfull...
but they say
I have reached back out to our NAD Specialist about playing your speakers at moderate volumes, and he has said the following (paraphrased):
''Playing at lower volumes (7~8 o'clock) actually stresses the output transistors more than playing at full volume.
This combined with 3.2 ohm speakers is pushing the C355 beyond its red line. ''
As such, we would still advise you not to use these speakers with your C355BEE.
My unique question is, well i never get that protection mode.. and well i like how my R300+ C355BEE sounds.. :/ i saw the marantz pm6006UK for potential upgrade due this problem, that amplifier will have this problem too ?
thank you

Our NAD Specialist has gotten back to me with the following:
- All NAD stereo & HTR amps are designed for 4 ohm ~ 8 ohm loads. Less than 4ohm loads will cause the protection circuits to trigger and could eventually burn out the amplifiers. 2~3 ohm speakers will push the amps past their continuous power limit.
Hope this helps!
