"... M66 has a selectable Analogue Direct mode that bypasses all digital processing..." - wonder if this means HT bypass?
I wonder if a dunce cap pops out of the unit when you press that button so the user who bought a modern device and uses it like a 1980s device can wear it.
I really like the NAD design and that you get 4 XLR subwoofer outs for DLBC.
But for just 1000€ more (7000€ msrp, prices will obviously drop) you can also get a Marantz AV10…
And for 2000 USD less you can get a Monoprice HTP-1 with a superior feature set: loudness compensation with two selectable perceptual models, PEQ for each channel before DLBC in the signal path, and support for 5 subs, assembled in the USA. But that’s not the point. Some people will never look at “home theater” gear even when it’s abjectly superior as well as cheaper. I don’t get it, but it is a thing. NAD is giving them a modern 2-channel option now. NAD’s box is very nicely styled, too, and their M series has always had nicely made casework.
