today i just listen to a 4.3k setup.consist of nad 320bee amp,nad 521bee cd player and ae-aegis evo 1 speakers.as for the nad u mentioned.the nad 352 in music room.i believe thats the last unit they clearing.a display set.a new set from the new local distributor is around 2.4k.the diff between nad 542 and the 521bee cd players is the bit rate and the special funtion.

nad - 542 (rm 2.1k - 2.5k)
1)24 bit proccessing
2)come with microsoft hdcd decoder.

nad - 541 (rm 1.3-1.4k)
1)20 bit proccessing
2)without hdcd decoder

judge from the spec above.u might think the sound will be a lot different.i tested both of them b4.u might or might not accept the  diff for the price u pay.who knows u can live with the cheaper 1. biggrin.gif did u try the b&w 601 or the 602?
the diff between both ae and b&w are the bass.thats the most obvious diff i can hear.not to say the highs are the same biggrin.gif .i find ae speakers work best on strings and acoustic instrument.as for the vocals and bass is still good though.here is what i like about b&w speakers,u might attracted to it at the very first time u listen to it.good speakers.fully imported and a very good price tag thumbup.gif .b&w's bass are soft compare to the hard bass ae.b&w bass are good for almost all kind of music.as for the cables and the psb speakers u asked,i'll answer u in my next post biggrin.gif tired of typing biggrin.gif

................to be continued
*

I have auditioned the NAD C542 B4. C542 produce good vocal and i must say it definitely produce wondeful strings and acoustic equipments sound. However, bass is a lilttle laid back although it does carry enough weight.

If you are looking for a good deal on NAD or interconnects or anything on AV stuffs (no promise here) PM me. Of course, it is brand new with guarantee ler. rolleyes.gif

but it is still risky to some as you do not know the history of the equipment esp CDP. Amp and Spkrs are the safer bet but I am not saying that it is 100% okay.

As oppose to Japanese amde amp, NAD and other well known brands always underrated their amps. That's why a 50W NAD amp is more powerful than a 60W Japs amp.

dsiew, the NADs are all made in China, not sure about the Silverline series, so are the Quads(that's why u get an excellent finish for modest price), Epos too smile.gif

The B&W on the other hand is still manufactured in UK, that seems to be the philosophy behind the Bower & Wilkins speakers. But just a note, the 602 S3 are not shielded so try not to use them right next/close to your PC monitor, give them some space away from your TV/monitor should be fine. LCD should be fine too smile.gif

The B&Ws are usually paired with Rotel from the Hifi mags, but hifi is unique so go ahead with whatever ancillaries you think sound great.

Cables: audioquest is so-so for the $$, i would go with supra rondo biwire, some advocate using silver for the HF post & copper for the LF post as silver conducts the best & is detailed/albeit also a bit bright but copper gives the bass some slam but I just use simple Supra/Chord/QED. Nordost Flatline is good but too $$$

If u r gonna buy, better make a good deal of it soon, otherwise u will likely change your picks again next month, trust me, i've been there...LoL

Cheers

Not all NAD are made in China.

I checked with Music Room in 1U. Theirs from Canada. I believe it may be the last batch.

Is there anyboby audit Exposure 2010s amp before? How is it compare to C352? How much is it in KL?

I find it very natural for vocal and musical though it is bit expensive than NAD. This amp is in different category BUT sounds so much different. And it 'touch' my heart with music only when i did audition in KL. Great amp.

Anyone have the experience with exposure?
*
Yep, Exposure XX. That model was very old liao. But, the sound is in diff league as compare to NAD. Exposure XX partnered with Epos ES11 (wood finish) with ori stand, spkr cable by NAIM and Cardas Interconnect. thumbup.gif

If I am not mistaken, 2010s retails at RM4K. If u bargain with them, i m sure u can get good price.

Sorry, Tunn. I guess with that budget, you could only get HTiB and not separates.

There are a lot of HTiB models to choose as well as brand; Pioneer, Panasonic, Sony, and so forth.
