NAD C 316 BEE V2 stereo amplifier
While the C 316BEE V2 has everything you need for musical enjoyment, it's refreshingly limited to the essentials: six inputs, one pair of audio terminals, a headphone jack and a full-featured remote control. It has a compact size and a neat but unassuming exterior. NAD is essential.
Although its features may not be as comprehensive as those offered by other NAD amplifiers, the C 316V2 is far from a "stripped down" product. With five line inputs, an MM Phono input, a full IR remote control, movable tone controls and a front panel input for a phone or tablet, the C 316V2 is fully equipped to become the control center for a high-performance music system. Continuous power is a conservative 40 watts, and dynamic power (more important for listening to music) is an impressive 100+ watts! That's a touch more usable power than other amplifiers at this price point, and that power is available throughout the entire audible band at a class-leading 0.03%.
