Feb 13, 2016 · The NAD 2200 uses a dual voltage rail to keep power consumption and heat dissipation low when producing lower power and then upping the voltage for peak power. This is a common technique but usually applied to low baseline power level.

Apr 17, 2018 · The 2200 was NAD's first "power tracker" commutating rail power amplifier. When it came out in the 1980s, it basically re-wrote the high dynamic power game and many other brands followed suit. Prior to the NAD 2200, Hitachi had hit the market 5+ years before (1977) with an even more powerful (200+200@8R continuous and well over 600W dynamic ...

Mar 1, 2018 · The NAD 2200 is 35 years old and has proven itself. It didn't need no stinkin' microcontrollers back then to achieve state of the art performance and doesn't need them now. Last edited: Jun 11, 2020

Jun 9, 2020 · When restored, some older NAD models can perform better than newer equipment, as measured by Amir. The remote of my Monitor series 1600 preamp is 30 years old, but still going strong. I must be amongst the lucky!

Jun 9, 2020 · NAD 2200 Vintage Amplifier Review and read the full review: I find it highly unlikely that the power of one NAD 2200 would be an issue with most speakers, including the relatively inefficient Vandersteen 2CE Sign 3's & the REL T/9i, however, if you are driving a setup involving more than one pair of these, you might want more.

Dec 30, 2019 · Here's some NAD power amps that should be good alternatives to this model (if found in good condition): 216 THX (125W / 8Ω), C270 (120W / 8Ω), 214 (80W / 8Ω), 218 THX (200W / 8Ω). These are models made between the 2200 and …

Dec 10, 2019 · Hi all. Thank you for creating such an amazing forum. Given all of the discussion, I'm wondering what's best to do with ~$500: get my NAD 2200 retrofitted and performing well for the foreseeable future or go with any of the great options that are now available at …

Dec 10, 2019 · Bridging The NAD 2200 is so powerful in the normal stereo mode that few listeners will ever need more. For special situations the two channels of the 2200 can be bridged to form a mono amp of truly immense power.
