NAD M2 Full Digital Integrated Amplifier: Robert
Harley in the December, 2009 Absolute Sound: "no
digital filter, no DACs, no multiple stages of analog
amplification, no interconnects, no jacks, no analog
volume control, no preamp. The conversion from the
digital domain to the analog domain occurs as a
by-product of the switching output stage and its analog
filter. This is as direct a signal path as one could envision.
... I predict that years from now audiophiles will look
back on the M2 as the progenitor of the next generation
of audio. "
The $5995 M2 has both analog and digital inputs-- with
250 watts per channel into 4 and 8 ohms. Winner,
Product of the Year, Absolute Sound, in Technology
Breakthrough category. Now in store-- amazing sound.
(The M2 does not replace the $2995 NAD M3 integrated
amplifier -- it is just a step further. Both amps are on
display.)

display at Audio Systems. Designer Paul Barton

Synchrony One and One B
The new PSB Imagine loudspeakers extend the
quality of the Synchrony series to new, lower
prices. Nonetheless, Paul Barton will not call
these "Synchrony Juniors". While the Imagine
speakers are clearly influenced by the Synchrony
series, the $2000 floorstanding speakers and
$1000 bookshelf models set new standards for
construction detail and low distortion. You will
be surprised and pleased by both.
