The NAD C 355BEE is a robust, powerful, and high-quality stereo integrated amplifier. Designed by Bjørn Erik Edvardsen (designer of the legendary NAD 3020), it incorporates advanced technology from NAD’s Masters Series, offering clean, dynamic sound that far exceeds expectations at this price point.
The C 355BEE is the big brother to the popular C 320BEE, C 325BEE, and C 326BEE models — offering greater power output, more system flexibility, and upgraded internal components for even better sonic performance. It sits just below the top-of-the-line C 375BEE, but delivers excellent value at less than half the price. For fans of the classic NAD sound, the C 355BEE delivers it in a more refined and robust package.
With 80 watts per channel into 8 ohms (and dynamic power up to 240W into 2 ohms), the C 355BEE handles a wide range of speakers with ease. It features NAD’s proprietary PowerDrive circuit for high-current headroom, Soft Clipping for speaker protection, and versatile input/output options for system flexibility.
Its modern-day equivalent is the NAD C 368, which offers similar power output (80W into 8 ohms) and currently retails for over $2,000 AUD online — making the C 355BEE exceptional value for anyone seeking the classic NAD sound without the high price tag.
The C 355BEE's understated, minimalist design makes it a perfect match for NAD separates, but it’s equally at home with gear from any brand. With ample inputs, serious power reserves, and a neutral sonic character, the C 355BEE is a flexible workhorse for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.
