Home Theater Design & Installations #1 choice surround processor/audiophile preamp NAD Master Series M17 V2i

sold for $6999 email for our SALE price

Home theater preamp/processor with 11.2-channel processing, Dolby Atmos®, Apple AirPlay® 2, and Dirac Live® room correction

Immersive, lifelike sound and picture

One reason the M17 V2i performs so well is the advancement of "object-based" surround sound formats like Dolby Atmos, which place sound effects in space around you with pinpoint accuracy. 

The M17 V2i excels at decoding and processing Atmos-encoded soundtracks. You'll hear the movie's score and special effects above, behind, in front of, and beside you — just like you would in an actual theater. 

This pre/pro's advanced video processing ensures a vivid, highly detailed picture with movies, sporting events, and video games. All HDMI inputs and one HDMI output support 4K and High Dynamic Range (HDR10) video signals, so you can use it with confidence with your TV or projector-based home theater system.

Stay current as technology changes

The M17 V2i features NAD's Modular Design Construction, which means that its digital inputs and outputs are installed on replaceable circuit boards. This lets you protect your investment by only replacing specific parts when technology evolves, rather than replacing the entire unit.

This is one of the big reasons why I'd choose this model over other pre/pros on the market. If there's an advancement in HDMI technology, for example, you can upgrade that specific section of the unit rather than having to replace the entire machine. 

Advanced room correction

The M17 V2i includes Dirac Live — one of the industry's best room-correction platforms. This software-based system takes precise acoustic measurements of your room, and creates a customized correction curve that fine-tunes the output of your speakers and subwoofers. You get smooth, clear sound that's uniquely tailored to your space. 

 

  NAD M28 Masters Series 7 ch x 200 watt Amplifier

         sold for $4999 email for our SALE price

       

Seven channels of robust power

The NAD Masters Series M28 is a superior option for setting up a high-performance surround sound system. It produces 200 watts times seven channels, for your front left, right, and center speakers, plus four more surround and/or effects speakers. Now you can immerse yourself completely in movie dialogue, sound effects, and music. This 4-ohm-stable amplifier can handle even demanding, power-hungry speakers.

Innovative amplifier technology

This amp offers pristine Class D amplification thanks to HybridDigital Purifi Eigentakt™ technology. It helps the amp maintain even frequency response into lower impedance loads, and minimizes the occurrence of digital clipping. Of course, it also offers robust power output and accurate sound with minimal distortion, for a listening experience that NAD calls "analog-like."

NAD Master Series M33 streaming/DAC amp

HYBRID DIGITAL™ PURIFI EIGENTAKT™ AMPLIFIER

First embraced in the NAD M33 Masters Series BluOS Streaming DAC Amplifier, the Masters M28 uses the Eigentakt™ amplifier, manufactured by NAD under license from Purifi, a Danish technology company that brought together several of the industry’s leading engineers.

While there are many good sounding amplifiers on the market today, Purifi has taken a fresh look at every aspect of amplifier performance and found many seemingly small non-linearities that, when corrected, can make a dramatic difference in the overall sound. Advanced technology, well thought-out PCB layouts and advanced mathematical modelling solved the last remaining limitations of audio amplifiers. The measured result is less noise and lower distortion, but the audible result is something more. The detail and transparency of the sound provides new levels of refinement at any volume level.

In common with previous generations of NAD HybridDigital technology, but unlike most Class D amplifier designs, the M28 is not only able to easily handle long cable runs but is impervious to the loudspeaker load it is presented with, maintaining the same wide and even bandwidth response irrespective of the speaker’s impedance and at the same time providing high current capability. On tap is 200W into 8 Ohms of continuous power for all channels driven at the same time and 560W of dynamic power into 4 Ohms.

Eigentakt technology is very analogue-like in behaviour in the unlikely event the amplifier is driven into clipping. Whereas many Class D designs can become unstable, Eigentakt behaves in a way like the benign way of clipping with instant recovery of well executed traditional Class A/B amplifiers.

“NAD has always been known for great sounding amplifiers that punch way above their weight and the M28 does this at a reference level and then some” states Cas Oostvogel, NAD’s Product Manager. “Using the Purifi Eigentakt technology, the M28 delivers massive amounts of power with sound quality that has to be experienced to fully appreciate. Even better, NAD engineers have managed to deliver all this performance at a cost less than traditional technology.”
