Separating the pre and power sections of an amplifer is always going to give a better sound than the equivalent integrated version, as each 'section' now has its own power supply, so the delicate signals in the pre-amp are not distorted by huge current drains when the power amp needs to kick the woofers. This leads to a much more open and refined sound, with more detail and air around each instrument.

The C 165BEE is an all new design representing a lifetime of design experience from NAD's renowned Director of Advanced Developments, Bjorn Erik Edvardsen. New semiconductors and improved production techniques such as surface mount devices (SMDs) have created opportunities for performance far beyond expectation when compared to previous products in this price range. Compared to its predecessor the C162, an improved tone control circuit and revised PCB layout has reduced distortion and noise to unprecedented levels when combined with the high signal capacity of the NAD Class A Gain Modules. It goes beautifully with the C275BEE power amp.
