What's unique about the brand
What reviewers are saying
We read all the reviews. Here's what reviewers feel most strongly about:
- NAD focuses on delivering high power and good sound at a reasonable price point, reflecting a core tenet of the brand's philosophy.
- NAD uses Class D amplification, specifically Purifi Eigentakt or Hypex nCore modules, to deliver efficient and cool-running performance.
- BluOS integration allows NAD products to be part of a multi-room audio system that allows one to explore music services without speculation.
Our favorite reviewer quotes:
- "The famous 'bullet time' sequences in the first film sounded, frankly, awesome, as the processor steered the slow-motion sound effects through a clearly defined three-dimensional space. That sense of a tangible environment was also apparent as hovercraft travelled through the tunnel networks in all three films." (https://www.homecinemachoice.com/content/nad-m17-v2-processor-review-0)
- "For example, with the car chase scene found on the 4k Blu-ray of Ready Player One, the M28 whipped up a sonic whirlwind. It immediately established itself as an immensely powerful performer, producing enormous dynamic swings with ease and speed that belie its asking price." (https://stereonet.com/reviews/nad-electronics-m28-seven-channel-power-amplifier-review)
- "Not only is every song presented with unfailing accuracy, it never sounds cold or digital. There is no grain or blockiness, just expression, and musicality." (https://hometheaterhifi.com/reviews/amplifier/power-amplifier/nad-masters-m28-seven-channel-power-amplifier-review)
- "From the haunting, faint women's chorus echoing in the distance to the wooden clacking of the metronome, and the metal drums resonating all around AIR Studios' Lyndhurst Hall, in London, I could have sworn I was listening to an amp that cost multiples of the NAD's price, such were the amounts of texture, detail, and precision unfolded by the D 3045. And yet, unlike so many other class-D amps I've heard, the D 3045's Hypex-based circuit sounded anything but "digital," with none of the hash or glare some associate with older ICEpower designs."
