Summary:
I have used this amplifier for over 20 years, driving a pair of Magnapan SMGs, and just love the sound. Although I do not have a very large room, it is big enough, and I have never needed to turn up the volume more than about half way. Beautiful, crist sound. One of the output terminals is currently not functioning (I cannot drive two sets of speakers at the same time), and rather than replace this old beauty with a newer amplifier, I found a copy of the service manual at HiFiEngine.com, and will repair it. If you can find one of these on eBay or somewhere else, I recommend that you pick it up. You will not be sorry.

Summary:
Just what you'd expect from the boys at NAD: upper-class sound at a lower-class price. It doesn't add or take away from the material, just simply amplifies it by about 110 watts total! There's the rub, I've noticed it's limits in larger rooms with efficient speakers (XQ-1s). I've also used this to power a 10" JL sub in a small room and it did fantastic! If you can find two of these, NAD recommends bridging them so you have a 250 watt system, doubling the power with wonderful headroom. NAD seems to be vague about how to bridge this thing, so here's a link to a similar amp: http://terry.rudys.net/?p=687
