Hi friends,
I had been reading on this forum, the word 'bright' many times. I couldnt figure out exactly what it meant.
Now, today i auditioned NAD355 and Cambridge audio 640a v2 from different dealers, each time paired with floorstanders.
Though both amplifiers are rated at 80W, I found the NAD to be overall much louder than the CA even though they both have similar power ratings.
It didn't seem to me that CA packed in that much power.
Could you please help me figure out whats going on ? Does 'bright' (as NAD is sometimes referred to) mean that the amplifier will sound louder?
I had almost made up my mind to buy the CA 640a while going to the shop after the many reviews I've read, but the CA audition was a bit disappointing.
The NAD355 is a bit beyond my budget; the 325 is within budget, but there isnt a demo piece in Delhi. Considering that NAD amps are 'brighter' would the 325 pack in as much power/punch as the CA 640a ?
Thank you for any inputs!
