NAD C165BEE graphite

The C 165 BEE is the perfect complement to the C 275 BEE power amplifier. Together, they constitute a system that achieves an unrivaled level of performance at this price point. The C 165 BEE also pairs very well with the C 245 BEE power amplifier. In all cases, the attention to construction is evident, from the heavy-gauge steel chassis to the power supply and class A gain modules. The C 165 BEE is truly designed in the spirit of NAD’s famed Masters series.
