Hello again and thanks for all your responses!
I decided to with the Cambridge as it was about 70$ cheaper than the NAD.
Actually I thought the NAD sounded just a little bit better, a little clearer in the highs. But that could maybe also have been the cd players, and the fact that both sets where played on a set of Dali speakers. They are known to be a perfect match with NAD.
The guy at the retailer said that he would go for NAD, and that they always are the best bang for he buck.
But, the 325BEE model NAD did not have proper pre-out he said, and that you would have to make some special Y-connection or what he called it, and that you only would have half the level of the pre-out. Im sure you guys know what this is better than me.
Im thinking about a getting a sub later on, and the retailer guy said that the Cambridge was a better choice to be used with a sub. I was very tempted to go with the next level up NAD which had proper pre-out, but then the price would be even higher.
About the design, I just think that the Cambridge look alot better then the NAD, with it's blue lights and more simple but stylish look. The retailer guy's response to this was "NAD doesn't waste money on design"...
Another aspect of it is that this amp and speaker set will to begin with be connected to my computer with Soundblaster X-fi soundcard and mainly be used for mp3. Therefor I think the difference in sound will be smaller due to lack of soundquality. After I bought this card, I really started to enjoy music again, and the whole idea of getting a set of good speakers started to form. I already have a set of the Sennheiser HD515 headphones, and when listening through these the difference between my old onboard sound and the X-fi was like night and day.
I was originally looking at the Audiobytes as I read about them on Toms Hardware's report from CES 2008 in Las Vegas.
But as I du a little deeper in Axiom's productline I was tempted to go bigger.
I was almost tempted to with the M50 instead, because if you calculate price and space consuption, a set of M22 with stands isn't that much cheaper.
But, I read a couple of reviews saying that one are better of with the M22, and that there is a reason for the gap in good reviews between the M22's and the M60's.
I placed my order last night and Im terribly excited to finally get them set up and playing!
Best Regards Martin!
