Price Paid:
$599.00
from Australia Summary: Went to Perth Australia Hifi shop, wanting to upgrade my Yamaha amplifier to a Yamaha or Denon receiver with remote control. Old Yamaha made my Mission speakers sound fantastic, but vol control was getting noisy, and I wanted remote control.
Sales guy talked me into NAD, and I was sucked in, mainly on NAD's previous reputation.
This receiver is a step backwards.
Remote voilume control is too coarse, ie, one press gets too loud or too soft.
No loudness setting, ie sounds very flat for low levels. No grunt.
Never again. Strengths: Looks good
Integrates well with other remote control NAD devices, cd etc.
Excellent marketing, this is an ordinary product, promoted as high end... Weaknesses: Remote control is poorly planned, need to move toggle switch to operate CD.
Remote volume control really coarse, moves too far up or down each press..
Sounds second rate at low volumes.
Marketed as high end product like the early NAD stuff, it sounds ordinary, low grunt.
Not for audiophiles. Similar Products Used: Yamaha, Sony, Denon
