Amp question (this will probably only get a response from Mora)

[Perversion]

So I found this, and the price is just ridiculous.

I've been wanting 2 surround setups in my main room (one geared toward the DLP, the main setup and one toward the Samsung LCD, the "everyday" setup). This almost looks like too good of a deal to pass up. I've done a bit of poking around, and in order to get two lower-rated (power and THD) but decent amps to drive a pair of surrounds and another left/right front pair (not even counting another center), I'm only looking at spending ~$180-200 more for this monstrosity.


Has anyone heard anything about NAD? I can barely find any info online at all about their products.

I had trouble finding much on that specific model besides the fact that it's on sale EVERWHERE, but it looks to me like the company itself is good.

All I did was Google NAD Electronics.

It was not on sale everywhere. Everyone was just linking to the same Amazon page.


That being said, I ordered this Wednesday late afternoon, and it arrived Fed Ex today. Shipping was even free. I (again) had to rip my entire setup apart (this thing weighs about 60 lbs, and I wanted to follow the recommendation for ventilation on the top, back and sides), but temporarily, I set up with just my Pioneer receiver, the PS3 and the amp. I'll tell you what...I thought my system sounded pretty good before, but compared to now, it was a muddy mess. First album I tested (just in stereo) turned out being Air's Talkie Walkie. First movie I tested was District 9 on Blu-Ray, and this is where my jaw dropped with the change in sound.

Granted, I tweaked a few settings on the receiver (set all speakers to small, set crossover to 80 Hz), but it just sounds so much more crystal clear than it was before. Now I'm just gonna test out a video game or two. Probably gonna be Dante's Inferno demo or Bayonetta (possibly Demon's Souls later tonight) and also Lumines Supernova and Flower.
