Price Paid:  $315.00 from A&Trade

Summary:
I shall use it the amplifier 4 years. Me it(he) very much to like! Äæàç and chamber classics sound superb!
To it can there is no dynamics, but it is possible to forgive it, allowing its price and series of other advantages.

Summary:
This is a great sounding amp. Similar to the Rotel as far as dynamics and bass depth, but richer in the mids and highs (the Rotel is more like a Bryston amp and the NAD is more like Audio Research). The NAD skunks the Denon (which is quite a good piece compared to others like it from Yamaha, JVC or Sony). Highly recomended!

Strengths:
Audiophile sound, good current - can do justice with B&W, KEF and other high quality speakers

Weaknesses:
tuner navigation

Rotel RX950, Denon DRA-275

Price Paid:  $270.00

Summary:
Very smooth and warm sound; perfect for listening to ballads. Enough power (although rated at 2x20W) to drive my Mission 702's or even my B&W CDM1's!

Strengths:
Sound quality is superb.

Weaknesses:
Tuner navigation: who can think of a method like this?

Similar Products Used:
Yamaha RX-930 (wow); Denon receivers (disappoiting).

Summary:
Needing a small versitile receiver, I chose the NAD 710 after owning a NAD Integrated amp (3240PE I believe?)10 years ago. I was glad for the 710's features, and front panel mini-jacks (input) which allowed me to hook in everything from a portable DAT to scanner, to SW Radio through that front panel input.
Power output hasn't been a problem, even when driving my Boston Acoustics T830's to wall shaking volume.
Tuner performance has been adequate and getting use to the ganged volume control to adjust balance is still a shortcoming.
The 710 is a little jewel that while has some short-comings, is "up to the task at hand".

Strengths:
ease of use, front panel clarity, surprising output power, front panel mini-jacks

Weaknesses:
power-on thump, no headphone jack, ganged balance, now discontinued by NAD

Summary:
I bought this amp for my bedroom to power some simple bookshelf speakers and for this they've worked great. Never felt the need for more power or bass. Often I am struck by their resolution and clarity, especially on small combo jazz such as Miles, Evans and Coltrane. For this money ($400 CAN) I can't think of anything that sounds as nice. It gives you all the features you need in a system that still sounds remarkably refined and not heavily veiled and cloudy like 'super-market' brands Sony, Technics, etc etc.

Strengths:
- great price
- very clear, relaxed sound
- nice dynamics

Weaknesses:
- annoying thump on power up (I keep it powered on at all times instead)
- poor navigation of Tuner
