The NAD Masters M23 HybridDigital stereo power amplifier integrates Eigentakt™ amplifier technology, a breakthrough of the kind that comes only in decades of innovation that virtually eliminates harmonic and intermodular distortion. Thus it delivers a wide frequency response, with no ups and downs, regardless of speaker load.
The result is a detailed, crisp sound with accurate stereo imaging at all listening levels and with all types of melodies, even during the most complex and demanding musical passages. Conservatively metered at 2 x 200W continuous at 8 ohm and 2 x 380W at 4ohm, the M23 can deliver playback levels equaling live from any loudspeaker.
Continuing NAD's long tradition of identifying and developing cutting-edge amplification technology, the M23 stereo stage features Eigentakt™ Class D amplification modules manufactured by NAD under license from Purifi.
Harmonic distortion and IM are practically impossible to measure at all frequencies and output levels given their marginality. The noise is inaudible, allowing a clean background that allows all the details to stand out. The output impedance is extremely low, which results in firm control of the speaker load.
With amazing power and transparency, the M23 can deliver dynamic power of 2 x 260W at 8 ohm and 2 x 520W at 4 ohm.
The ideal amplifier must combine ultra-low distortion, ultra-high damping factor, and great stability regardless of the speaker. There are many amplifiers that perform perfectly in one or two of these areas, but not in the others.
Purifi's Eigentakt™ technology has changed the game, offering NAD devices a proven power switch mode that makes them outstanding in all three of these areas. All this without the increase in weight and price common in older power amplifiers with Class AB output stages used in traditional amplifiers.
Eigentakt™ surpasses in all the previous ways, and by a large margin, the improvements in the class D system.
Equipped with single-ended RCA and balanced
The NAD M23 can operate in bridge mode, offering 700W of continuous power at 8ohm. A pair of M23s in bridge mode can be linked together and the award-winning NAD M33 BluOS Streaming Amplifier, for an impressive 700W of continuous power.
With its elegant housing, the M23 stereo power amplifier has the build quality for which the NAD Masters series is renowned. Solid panels and iso-point magnetic feet provide a solid foundation for the M23's multi-layer circuit boards, as well as its complex internal construction.
The result is a stage that is as attractive to the eye as it is exciting to the ear. Offering a unique union of virtues, reproduction and quality/price ratio, the M23 is a new milestone in stereo amplification.
