I've never heard that, but at this price, I won't lose much in the gamble.

Agree. Mine keeps pumping out great sound way above its price point. Enjoy!

Perhaps the speaker relay problems gave NAD a bad reputation with some people. The NAD amps I have that are about ten years old needed speaker relay replacement about every year or two. I ran bi-amped with an integrated and matching power amp, so it started getting expensive. If the 'A' set of terminals would stop working then I would switch to the 'B' set (if they would work). Sometimes I could get the failing relays to contact if I turned the volume way up before turning the amps on; but that wasn't exactly safe for the speakers.

Not exactly a good engineering approach, but it kept the amp working, and I've heard from a fair number of others who did the exact same thing. |

I have found that NAD and Monitor Audio speakers give Wilson a good run for the money.

few years back I had a some Monitor Audio Gold tower speakers set up perfectly (spiked, toed in just right, perfect distance from back wall and side walls, etc) with a sub dialed in perfectly with the just right amount of decay(if there is such a thing); you could hear the kick drum and associated drum hard aware as if it was in the room; the NAD piece I borrowed from a dealer had a MC 275 tube feel to it that has been hard to replicate.
This system had some of the best PRAT I have experienced. Very intoxicating. Sometimes moving up in dollars for more expensive equipment requires a lot more dollars to get that sound you happen to have created with lower priced equipment. |
