Hi,

Going to pick up the LSI9's today. These will be part of my stereo set up used primarily for music. Was thinking of matching these with the NAD C-375BEE-Integrated-Amplifier. Listen mostly to electronic dance music, which tends to be base heavy. Infact this was the reason I went for the LSI9's , where base was concerned it blew away all the other bookshelf's I auditioned .

Does anyone have any experience with this amplifier ? think it will a good match for the LSI9's ?

Thanks

    That's a great amp and will drive the LSi9's with authority.

    The two times I heard the LSi series they where both driven with NAD integrated amps and sounded really nice.

    The Rotel RC-1070 pre amp + RB-1070 power amp combo is available from another retailer at the same price as NAD C-375BEE-Integrated-Amplifier.

    Either set up will work well. I would probably go with the Rotel if its the same price. Seperates tend to add some flexibility when upgrading. I also like the Rotel build quality and look better.

    Sound wise there about the same. Some might think the NAD is a little warmer than than the Rotel..

    I currently run my LSI9s with the NAD C355BEE and I think it is a great match. The 355 is the little brother to your amp.
