I have both the Marantz PM8004 and NAD C326BEE and use them in my workshop.
I like them both and it's one of those I can't decided which one I like more deals.
The Marantz clearly has a more "class" sound. More robust some detail but a "classy" sound.
The NAD is not bright or edgy at all! It does have a wonderful amount of detail, VERY accurate and again not bright! beautiful imagining and wide sound stage. But it does lack a certain amount of midrange "umph". That is the only area were the Marantz pulls ahead.
But yes, the humble 326 is a clear winner in audio. And I plan on keeping mine for as long as I can use it in my shop. It's not my main system stereo nor will it ever be a main system type stereo. But it is a great entry level stereo.
I forgot - I have an email friend with a 356bee and he never was really over the moon with that stereo???

Thanks for all the feedback...very helpful in decisions...I dont think the NAD 326 would have any issues driving the Focal 905 in a 10 x 12 living space. No dealers in my area to demo NAD.
My old NAD 3150 is very good and found to be better than my friend's two new Marantz amps. It is better than my old huge and heavy Harmon Kardon. I played Elac B6 thru my NAD and my friend's Marantz. There was a marked improvement in sound played thru my NAD.
I am planning to get a new amp and I think I will opt for either NAD 326BEE or NAD 316BEE. I have heard that the latter is an outstanding amp.
All the best
Bill
It should drive it OK.
