NAD T-765 in 4 ohm mode?

[Taysir]

I checked the manual but could not find anything about how to set it in 4 ohm mode, or even find out whether it was in 8 ohm or 4 ohm mode. Anyone know how to set it in the different modes?

As with all of NAD's amplifiers and receivers, your T-765 doesn't have a switch for setting speaker impedance. It's automatic! Called "PowerDrive", it incorporates two power supply rails. One runs continuously, while the other kicks in only when required. Speaker impedance varies with frequency, so the impedance as marked on the back of your speaker is a nominal figure only.

I believe that other, more knowledgable, members of this forum would advise anyone owning an AVR with an impedance switch to leave it at 8 ohms anyway.

NAD amps are pretty robust. I don't think you'll have an issue with 4 Ohm speakers.

Not a worry in the world concerning your NAD T765 running a 4ohm speaker load. High current & plenty of underrated power. Where other AVR's might cringe & go into protect mode, your T756 will just laugh & say bring it on. Hell, they even have enough dynamic power to handle a 2ohm speaker load.

I agree that it won't have an issue with a 4 Ohm load. Note that few receivers have a true "switch" to allow operation with low impedance loads. Some Yamahas have this, but I haven't seen many others that do.

My Yammy RX-V1800 has one but its a setting done through a menu as opposed to a physical swithc. I'm sure it translate to a physical swith down the path via a relay of some sort.

Yes, you should have no problems driving 4 ohm speakers.

Proper model of NAD to bridge with 3400 integrated amp

Hi everyone,

This is my first post, be gentle. I have a NAD 3400 integrated amp. I'm very happy with it. It has been powering Cerwin Vega SAT-6S and Bose 301 satellite speakers. The CV speakers have always been impressive (please no Cerwin Vega speaker bashing, I realize they don't live up to so many other higher end speakers), the Bose I've never really been impressed with but they suffice as fill speakers. Anyway, I'm looking to add a pair of Cerwin Vega CLS-215s and would like to bridge my NAD 3400 amp. I've had the amp for a very long time and cannot remember what the recommeded model is to bridge with. I realize I will have to search out a used amp to purchase. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also, I am open to alternative speaker choices.

Thank you!

Not to hijack a thread but to bridge is using 2 channels in one amp to power with.
