The phenomenon you are reporting is why many people refer to the NAD as having a somewhat 'dark' sound. It's not offensively wrong, it certainly works well on bright sounding speakers, but open and airy it's not. Given the two amps, the 640A does sound like it will be a better fit for you.However, reading what you've said about your tastes and what you hear from your speakers, an even better option might be an Arcam A75 Plus (which is substanatively better than the A75 it replaced) or A80 (which recently replaced the A75+ and sound virtually the same). It has the bottom end slam and control of the NAD, but is less veiled through the midband and highs, sound much like the Azur 640A in that respect. It's a step up from both the 350 and 640A in terms of sound quality and in price. However, I've seen used A75+ in near mint shape go for $400 used - a LOT of quality sound for the dollar.
Just my 2 cents.
Good Luck-
Gary
