How is the sound on the NAD t747?

The NAD is so easy to adjust that it’s almost as quick to set it up manually and the sound is lush and addictive. Playing the Blu-ray release of Monsters, Inc, the T747 rises easily to the challenge of the various vocal tones and the incredible array of different set ambiences.

Is the T 747 a / V receiver a good product?

The T 747 A/V Receiver is a technologically advanced and highly capable product — yet we have invested great effort in making it simple and easy to use. The T 747 delivers a range of genuinely useful options for surround sound and stereo listening, using powerful digital signal processing and superbly accurate digital-audio circuitry.

Is there a max SPL for the NAD t747?

The T747 is every bit as punchy and dynamic as the £1,000 competition, but I discerned a limited maximum SPL. Simply put, the NAD will not go as maxed-out loud as some of its peers, but it does get to medium-serious listening volumes a whole lot more gracefully that many of them. Will the slightly limited max SPL matter to most people?

Which is better a Denon or a NAD t747?

The T747 is a capable all-rounder that lulls you with its easy-going style and by being pretty darn good at everything. Denon’s equivalent has more chutzpah, Pioneer’s more detail and Onkyo’s perhaps more refinement, but the T747’s simplicity, solidity and consistent performance keeps NAD’s reputation for quality and value thoroughly intact.
