I added my listening impressions of the M23 to the test report and turned it into a review and republished:

NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier Review

The NAD M23 is a 200wpc stereo amplifier utilizing the SOTA Class D Purifi 1ET400A to push the envelope of performance and efficiency. Is this the best amplifier we’ve reviewed in our 25 year history?

How is this over primare a35.2?

Beats it handly, from lower distortion to having a better wideband response. The Primare isn't horrible, but not technically as good.

I picked up the primare a35.2 and a35.8 to run with my perlisten speakers since I’ve seen that amp being used a lot with them. Now thinking after seeing this go with nad?

Maybe go with a purifi or hypex class d. Best current bench measurements.
Look at Buckeye, Nord or March.

That's up to you,it's possible you don't hear a difference but if you want price of mind, there are several manufacturers that run better speed amps

I’m happy but I know purifi/hypex class d are great choice and better options out there.
