Well I have a variety Shane, but the current rig is driving two pairs of Corellis in parallel and sounding surprisingly good.

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
You gravitate to the Corellis a lot. I remember you having a pair a few years back.
Have fun.

Geoff, how are you managing impedance between your NAD and your double Kefs? My understanding is the NAD is (nominally) rated at 8Ω and the KEFs also (nominally) at 8Ω. However running the Kefs in parallel brings the impendence load to 4Ω. But perhaps my understanding is wrong. Or perhaps the NAD can dip way below 8Ω temporally and/or you are not playing music very loud with lots of bass such that the load presented to the NAD is very benign in practice.

Yes, it becomes a nominal 4 ohm load. The NAD should cope just fine.

Old school NADs are in the ranks of the few budget amps that don't mind low impedance/reactive loads. Within reason anyway.
The 3020 was still fairy acceptable into 2 ohm.

Nice neat system.
