- Pleasing dynamics and bass
You can add strong dynamics and seismic bass to the list of positives, and other qualities such as tonal balance and stereo imaging are good enough to avoid criticism.
The very best of the opposition deliver more agility and transparency, but thankfully this combo avoids the heavy-handed, muscle-bound nature of some rivals.
The power amplifier is about as complex as these things get. There are two pairs of speaker outputs, NAD’s traditional ‘soft clipping’ control to smooth the sound close to the limit and a switch to turn the stereo unit into a bridged monobloc, raising output to a whopping 330W.
This combi is decently made but best described as functional when it comes to feel and finish.
STRENGTH:Awesome sounding amp. Rich warm sound out of this thing. First time I hooked it up I couldn’t stop listening to music. Previously I was using a high end receiver to drive my speakers, it sounded ok but had a cold non engaging sound also was slightly fatiguing after a while. This amp changed all that. Sound is fun, warm and dynamic now. Heavy and solid construction. Good connections. Gets warm but not noticing high temps. I am sold on NAD products now.
WEAKNESS:Bright blue led light. Hits u right in the eyes late at night. Can be covered up.
