m 2 5 sevenchannelpoweramplifier suddenly you become the master of new levels of power for a cleaner sound a minimum of 160 watts per channel proves it massive power more power is always better when it comes to sound quality power is required not only to play loudly but also to play cleanly without audible distortion when an amplifier is asked for more power than it was designed to deliver it can only respond with distortion fortunately the m25 is one of the most powerful amplifiers on the market today designed for home use with a minimum of 160 continuous watts per channel all channels driven simultaneously from 20hz to 20khz at rated distortion of 0.03 the m25 easily delivers lifelike sound levels even in large home theatre rooms it handily meets thx s most stringent certification level ultra 2 unlike most surround sound receivers nad s own receivers are a rare exception that only rate power with 1 or 2 channels running or use very short term measurements the m25 can deliver its fu

m 3 dualmonointegratedamplifier noise and distortion aren t infinitesimal as in other high-end amplifiers they re more like non-existent analog sound digital control the m3 is nad s concept of the ideal musical companion capable of transporting the listener to that place where the music simply exists in its own perfect space for this task we have pushed classical analog circuit design to unprecedented levels of performance the total lack of audible noise and distortion is the result of some very sophisticated analog engineering and rather surprisingly the use of digital control freed of the constraints of traditional analog switches nad s director of advanced development bjorn erik edvardsen devised an architecture using precision 1 resistors controlled by digital switches for all the level adjustments required for volume control balance control and tone control yes we still believe in tone controls more on that later input selection is via precision controls in the most advantageou
