NAD Master's Series

[darrinturner]

Hello all,

New to this forum, but looking forward to the new experience.

So I am getting rid of the boston acoustic speakers, the Denon amp and JVC dvd player and am looking to replace everything with the following.

B&W 804S & HTM2D
NAD Master's Series AMP PRE AMP and DVD

What do you all think about the NAD Master Series? Does anyone currently run them?

Gee theat NAD processor looks just like what I'm after. The only thing holding me back is the price!

I've not sat down and compared the NAD to others. But I will pass this along:
A dealer friend whom I've known for many years carries NAD and Rotel as well as more expensive lines. He is a Rotel believer at it's price point. After having heard the NAD Master series, he was really impressed with it. I would not let his opinion sway my decision but it would indeed make me take the time to give it a good audition. He has carried the NAD and Rotel lines for years and always leaned towards Rotel. The Master Series although more expensive than the classic NAD does seem to have raised the bar. I would give it a good listen against comparable equipment with the speakers you will be using.

One of the mags stereophile or tas gave the intergrated a great review.

Dynaudio ran their Confidence C4 (US$12000) with the M3 (US4500) integrated and M55 multi-player at a recent audio expo in Germany....on their website they state "excellent" performance and from that I gathered that the new Masters series is hitting hard!!! It must be something special from NAD...

Thanks to all that replied,

I am strongly pushing for the NAD at this point.

Now here is a question.

The M55 Digital Disc Player has a very nice chipset. I currently have the Pioneer Elite PRO-930HD TV and wanted to know that when hooking the DVD player up using the HDMI connection that this signal will not be reformatted by the TV?

Does anyone know who that works?

Chris ??

Chris, you think wayyyy too much like me. Darrin, NAD can be considered an abbreviation of gonad. And that is . . . well, hit the dictionary. :B

[darrinturner]

I know what gonad is, but I am really trying to understand why the thought producing sperm comes to mind when we are talking HT?

But to each their own :T

[Chris D]

Just talking about "NAD"...
