NAD Masters Series M25 7-Channel Power Amplifier

"Full-bodied, sweet, detailed, delicate. These are the words that describe the sound of the new NAD M25 7-Channel Power Amplifier. NAD has been known for its amplifiers for many years, amps that are no-nonsense and deliver far more than their prices might indicate. The Masters Series M25 is the company's first attempt at an amplifier that not only sounds but looks the part of an expensive, high-end design. And if $2,995 for 7 x 160W channels of superb amplification sounds expensive to you, you haven't been shopping around lately for multichannel power amps."

"The NAD is a little sweet and soft rather than aggressive, but never shortchanges detail or depth. That's a perfect combination for flat or slightly bright speakers or recordings, and in particular makes great soundtracks sound spectacular. It's also beautifully built, like all the components in the Masters Series, which are getting glowing reviews for their sound quality. The M25 is no exception. "
