Steve,
Thank you for reading and excellent question.
The NAD 316BEE V2 does not have a subwoofer output; although you can use something like a REL which would connect to the NAD's binding posts.
Very different sounding system. The Wharfedale loudspeakers are much warmer sounding tonally and the tweeter is much smoother than the 1" tweeter on the Borea BR03 BT.
The phono stage is better inside the NAD amplifier.
There is no streaming module inside the NAD, so will you be using your smartphone connected to the NAD with a Dongle DAC or directly?
The Wharfedale 12.3 does not need a subwoofer in your room.
The Borea BR03 BT with the Triangle subwoofer can easily fill your room with music and movie content.
How far back are you sitting? Volume levels?
Best,
Ian White

Great review ian, and this system interests me. I listen to mostly acoustic music and videos in an 18x11x8 room. Would you prefer these with a sub, Wharfedale 12.2 with NAD316 and a sub, or NAD 316 with wharfedale 12.3 and no sub. Keep up the great reviews. Thanks. Steve.
