    I've got one Nad !

    <font color='#000000'>Actually I made a typo in all my excitement it is the NAD 2200 model Stereo Power Amplifier not the 2900. There is for all intensive purposes a manufacturing flaw on many of these models that causes it to be flaky, but I've figured how to permanently fix it, so it can be...

    Yamahaholics

    <font color='#000000'>I've not had much experience with Yamaha receivers. The ones I have had experience with were more of the mid priced models. I never liked that they had the cheap spring clip speaker connections for the rear channels, while other brands in the same price range usually...

    Speaking of audio snobs

    <font color='#000000'>I think many of us have to remember that we are much more educated about audio than the general public. There are many, many people who have absolutely no clue about audio systems including people that work at boutiques and regular mass market chains and if you were to try...

    The sound of Amps.

    <font color='#000000'>Dynamic headroom bears far to little attention in reviews and purchasing decisions among the masses. Amps which have lower headroom cannot in my opinion produce sound as accurately as those with a generous amount of it. During accute transitions in music and movies many...

    Good news! Online Speaker Company Faceoff comingup

    <font color='#000000'>I think this is a very fair way to test the limits of how far the money can be stretched and love the idea. This isn't the type of review consumers are accustomed to, so I can understand any angst. Though ultimately I know that if a $450/pr of bookshelf speaker sounded...

    5.1 -vs- 6.1 -vs- 7.1

    <font color='#000000'>I think the most important thing to consider is where your preference lies: movies or music. I enjoy a 7.1 setup. Even in a small room it can noticeably enrich the movie watching experience. If I were to put a dollar amount on the increased enjoyability I'd say it would be...

    <font color='#000000'>These amps were made around 1984 I believe. I'd like to hear anyones opinon on this amp. I have heard that they have problems due to poor solder joints on the output relays but otherwise are a terrific value if you can find one. Are the mid 80's NAD products as good or...

    Outlaw Audio M200

    <font color='#000000'>The M-200 is worth every penny. I have three of them being used for my R, L, C Channels. It offers nice clean output with a slightly laid back feel. They are 18lbs of muscle apiece. Amps are really Outlaw's strong suit. Good luck with your sub. </font>
