Nice videos a truly interesting assortments of amplifiers ,these new NAD's If I where in for passive speakers I would not hesitate trying either M2 or C390DD . Seing that the CC390 has a cheaper chassi and a bit less power to make it more economical would make it perform very well for the money this is NAD as i remember them. The exclusive high end look cost more than we want to know sometimes. A NAD should be drab grey and cheesy :) that's the point no money wasted on bling bling happy to se some more development in in class D especially as we have to reduce the carbon footprint . if you analyze music you quickly see that the avarage power is a couple of watts but your typical heavy duty class A/B amp is dumping >100-200 watts or similar as heat all the time . This means that all amps will work this way eventually so it's time to take sound-quality seriously , hopefully others follow and compete . what they do fudge a bit is the damping factor at higher frequency's this is the weakness of an amp with an output filter . otherwise the specs are in a context with most of the conditions so they are not just marketting numbers. except damping that is spec below 200Hz To low damping can slightly modify frequency response and miss-align passive crossovers a bit performance may be slightly more speaker dependent than a traditional amp . http://www.rane.com/note145.html -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
