I'm soon (hopefully) purchasing the NAD C272. The guys at the high-end audio shop where I buy my stuff do say that bi-amping is the recommend configuration for this amp. |

Many guys want to improve their sound and think of buying better speakers or a new amplifier. Never change anything in your system unless you can hear a difference. Bi-amping is the first major step in improving any system. A crossover, either independant and active or one integrated into the sub amplifier will work. Most speakers are unable to reproduce the deepest bass found on all newer cds, but a subwoofer 10" or larger, will make a very audible improvement. Put it between your speakers. Make sure your tweeters are at your ear level. Rock on! |

The NAD C272 is configured for bi-wiring. For bi-amping one would need two amps. |

I cannot imagine a dealer finding a 272 amp designed for bi-amping, either, MR.
And for a dealer to suggest the unit is made for bi-wiring is isleading. |

Another of the same I think would be preferable David, though perhaps someone else may know better..
Nuck this: "And for a dealer to suggest the unit is made for bi-wiring is isleading." I think you meant bi-amping. The C272 is designed for a bi-wiring alternative.
And no dealer should islead anyone (grin). |

Yes, I think what I meant to say was "bi-wiring". Sorry for the confusion. |
