NAD M22 V2 Class D Amplifier..any comments?

[wdw]

Hello All,  

 

Anyone using or had a listen to this amp.  I am not a GUTB and so have a more reasoned approach to Class D.  I find this product to be interesting and would welcome any comments.

 

Thanks in advance

Nice amp.  Compact, open-sounding and powerful.  With bridging, really powerful.

I owned this amp for a while driving some Martin Logan Montis.  It did the job and could handle their tough load.

 

When I demoed this amp with Sopra 2's in a very damped showroom, the NAD amp showed its ass a little bit.

 

It sounded pretty dry and clinical compared to the Class AB amps on-hand "under the microscope" of this room.  I sold it and moved on.

 

YMMV

What a class D should always be able to do is go loud without obvious issues; it's the handling of delicate treble that would separate them strongly - I would audition with something with lots of light touch, cymbal splashing content; how well is that reproduced?
