Hi,

I'd like to have your advice about this config:
- NAD C521BEE
- NAD C320BEE
- Studio Lab SLB102
It'll be my first system, and I'd like something in this range of
price (1000Euros). I had the opportunity to test this config at the
seller's.
It sounded quite good to me but I'm not used to this and I may be
quite influencable...
From what I read in the forums it seems the NAD are quite good, maybe
the best quality/price ratio, althoug they might not be that good in
low powers (but are the others in this range of price better?)
But I heard nothing about the SLB102...
Theses sounded really good with the Nad. The sound was very clear,
very nice.
The most part was maybe the deep of this sound, you could see in the
space, the singer, and musicians on the background.
I tested it with Des'ree "Kissing you" and Radiohead "Talk Show Head"
both from Romeo+Juliet...
Anybody would have comments about this config, and specially about the
SLB, that seems so cheap ( The boston CR65 sounded so flat- no space
sensation...but maybe that's my ears...)
Thanks.
Stephen

NAD gear is usually OK, though it's sometimes troublesome to repair
because of the way they're built. Don't worry about that though, not
our concern.
They sound good, especially for the money.
I've never heard that they should have a problem at low levels.
They're mostly class AB amp designs, and as such, comparable to almost
all products in the price range.

I'm not familiar with the SLB102, so I can't comment on that.
If they sound good to you, and they're also visually to your liking,
go for it!
