NAD T778 System
The Receiver
"I think I speak for most folks here when I say that most AV receivers belong behind doors in a ventilated rack, but you certainly can't say the same about NAD's T 778. Its gorgeous touchscreen may not have much functional use after you're done with the setup process, and it can honestly be a bit of a distraction during movie watching if you don't set it to time out. But during music-listening, it adds something to the experience far beyond my expectations. I found watching those dancing virtual VU meters to be a nearly meditative exercise.
Granted, if that's all the T 778 had going for it, it would be difficult to justify its $4500 price tag. Thankfully, the receiver benefits from more amplification headroom than mostly people likely need, deliciously detailed sound, wonderful dynamics, exceptional neutrality, and fantastic dialogue intelligibility. Throw in world-class room correction and an excellent multiroom music streaming platform in the form of BluOS, and there's just so much to love about this receiver." read the review
