$13,500 for 350 x 2, $18,000 for the 332 and $15,500 for the 333. The 300 ps are $13,500 each.
$87,500 (with 2 PS). 
Add decent speakers and accessories youāre looking at over $100k

@Pete_the_painter ā¦ Wow 
Look Iām sure some will be up for it but itās well out of my league.
Gosh, but what I was expecting. NZ$29K for the 350ās. I paid $7K for a used 300 DR. Theyāll be staying then.

I couldnāt get that for kidney, well not now anyway. 
Even a 200 setup will cost just over $40ks without speakers and accessories.

That now seems great value, think I might mute all the hi fi threads and cancel my magazine subscriptions.

Geoffās question (or my question) is: has anybody any idea whether the 350s knock easy to drive LS in a small or mid-size room out?
I remember it was sometimes the case when comparing 250DR vs 300DR.
I replaced my Ndac with a 333 recently and am also slumming it with a 282 250dr. To these ears, with the 333 you just get to enjoy the music and forget youāre listening through lots of electronics. I was fond of the Ndacās rather exuberant, edgy presentation but never felt it worked for me when listening to classical music, whether string quartets or full scale symphonic works.
The 333 places the listener in the studio or concert hall and draws you into the musicians performanceā¦ā¦often for hours and hours! Mostly used with Qobuz and R3 HD streaming and downloaded Hi-res files. I have retained my old HDX for playing CD files via the BNC DC1 connection for the time being. It would be good to try the 333 out with a new classic PSU when funds allow.

Which perhaps goes some way to explain why some territories (non-UK) want a high-powered Nova? i.e. focused on a 1-box solution with decent speakers, which is almost the holy grail of hi-fi.

Beautiful setup!
How is the center speaker connected?
Still havenāt had the chance to really get to grips with it yet - hopefully a few hours tonight. Immediate impressions chime with yours though 
Quick Q though - i thought you could change output volume on the 333? (Appreciate possible dip in qualityā¦) canāt seem to find settingsš¤·š¼āāļø
System automation working fine with the 282 (via app not remote).
I havenāt tried variable output mode yet but it can be selected in the app under āvolume modeā where there are 3 different choices.
Thank you 
The av amp used to be in the middle but Iāve now moved it to the corner on the right. Took the bottom shelf of this shelving unit out and made this for it.
All the cables run behind the skirting board. Really helped keep things separate, thereās more room behind the unit now, especially going from seven boxes to four!

@echoroom - can I request you send a screen shot of āvolume modeā control in-app pls? Doesnāt seem to be enabled in mine.
Maybe my app needs deleting and re-loading.
Thank you - Iām using the app on my phone which Iām guessing is not as extensive.
Curious - system automation works fine with my 282.
I donāt see it on my phone or iPad either, just checked and I have the latest versions. Have āVolume Controlā but not āVolume Modeā

Not sure I even have volume controlš¤·š¼āāļø.
Maybe if I disable system automation. Canāt be bothered though whilst it all works!
With low or high sensitivity speakers, with gaming, movies, music and at low, medium or high output levels the level of quality of monaural NAP 350ās over NAP 250 is clear to hear.
