I see NAD have gone and launched a V2 version of the M22 Power Amplifier... looks pretty exciting, and this could be the deciding update that convinces me to purchase one...
"CES Las Vegas, NV, January 9, 2018 — NAD Electronics, the highly regarded manufacturer of high-performance audio/video components, launched a new and improved stereo Masters Series amplifier, the M22 V2, that delivers a 20% increase in power to 300 watts per channel. The new Masters amp also features a bridging switch that transforms it into a 900-watt mono behemoth.
In addition, the M22 V2 now has a 3-position input sensitivity switch that controls the auto turn-on sensitivity, allowing for better matching to each individual system. Even with the increase in power and features, the price of the M22 V2 remains at $2999 U.S. MSRP with January delivery."
Key Features of the NAD Masters M22 V2:
Power increases 20% from 250 Watts X 2 to 300 Watts X 2
Redesigned power supply enables the increase in power
NAD’s PowerDrive circuit maximizes dynamic power
Bridging mode transforms M22 V2 into a 900W mono amplifier
nCore™ technology by Hypex delivers near ideal amplifier performance
3 position auto turn-on sensitivity switch allows for improved system matching
But wait... there is more to the increase in power stated above... and extract from the NAD website...
"Employing the latest generation of digital PowerDrive™, the M22 offers a minimum of 300W per channel with amazing reserves of dynamic power at lower impedances. The M22 is capable of >400W dynamic power per channel even in 8 ohms, >700W in 4 Ohms, and 1,000W in 2 ohms. Need more power? Select Bridge Mode and the M22 offers 950W at 8 Ohms in Mono. It can effortlessly power any loudspeaker to live performance levels with amazing efficiency and low power consumption. Control for PowerDrive is derived by sensing the average output power, applying a time constant, and then cleanly hard clipping the signal thus limiting it to the rated continuous clipping power over a sustained loading. By controlling the power envelope maximum clean power is obtained for every operating condition."
Right, now where is that Singapore distributor... early 2018 splurge????
