NAD T758 Amplifier

About the NAD T 758 by Crutchfield'sDavid Brown When it comes to receivers, choose wisely Think your home theater receiver doesn't really affect how your speakers sound? Then NAD has something to show you. Connect your stereo or surround sound speakers to the T 758 and hear just how much better they can sound when driven by this powerhouse. Conservatively rated at 110 watts per channel in stereo mode, this receiver packs a wallop, bringing more punch and dynamics to music and movies than you may be accustomed to hearing outside of a movie theater. If you want a clearer idea of how your favorite musicians and movie directors intended for you to experience their work, fire up this receiver, sit back, and lose yourself for a couple of hours. You may rethink the importance of a receiver to your system's sound. No frills, just thrills While other A/V receivers may offer more features, NAD focused the T 758 on one mission: performance. This receiver is designed to deliver the very best sound and picture from all your audio and video sources. By eliminating signal-degrading and space-eating processing and seldom-used features, the T 758 achieves vanishingly low distortion. This is the music lover's A/V receiver, backed by NAD's decades of audiophile expertise, to deliver music and movie soundtracks with clarity and detail that lifts the "veil" off your speakers to reveal their full potential. Designed with the future in mind With rapidly changing developments in digital audio and video, it's sometimes hard to commit to new gear when something newer may be just over the horizon. That's why NAD developed Modular Design Construction. The T 758's digital inputs and outputs are built into a removable circuit board. So if something better comes along, you'll have the option to upgrade your connections without buying a whole new receiver. It's a smart way to future-proof your purchase with the benefits of clean, powerful amplification that will never go out of style. Two assignable channels for a second room With seven channels to play with, NAD has added one important feature over the previous version of this receiver. The "surround back" channels are reassignable. So if, like many people, you have five speakers in your home theater, you can power two additional speakers in a second room with the T 758. Or if you'd like to get more clarity from your front speakers, you can use those two extra channels to bi-amp your compatible fronts. Customized presets for movies and music All receivers are designed to perform double-duty for movies and music. This NAD receiver makes it easy to switch between a CD and a Blu-ray disc without having to reconfigure all your settings. The T 758 features five A/V presets which let you customize different functions for optimal playback. For instance, you may want to play movies from your Blu-ray player in 7.1-channel surround sound using your subwoofer for plenty of deep, rumbling bass. But perhaps you want to use only your front speakers and the sub for pop music. However, you'd prefer acoustic music to play only through your stereo speakers without the sub, though with a little bit of extra bass response courtesy of the receiver's built-in tone controls. With the T 758, you could create three presets to handle all of these situations with easy one-button selection.
