MASSIVE POWER
More power is always better when it comes to sound quality. Power is 
 
required not only to play loudly, but also to play cleanly without audible distor-
tion. When an amplifier is asked for more power than it was designed to deliver, 
it can only respond with distortion.Fortunately the M25 is one of the most pow-
erful amplifiers on the market today designed for home use. With a minimum 
of 160 continuous watts per channel, all channels driven simultaneously, from 
20Hz to 20kHz at rated distortion of 0.03%, the M25 easily delivers lifelike 
sound levels even in large home theatre rooms. It handily meets THX’s most 
stringent certification level, Ultra 2.
Unlike most surround sound receivers (NAD’s own receivers are a rare 
exception) that only rate power with 1 or 2 channels running, or use 
very short term measurements, the M25 can deliver its full rated power 
 
continuously for hours on end. Custom designed heat sinks and thermo-
statically regulated variable speed fans keep things cool under the most 
severe operating conditions. A unique fan circuit that tracks signal lev-
el, actually shuts down the fans during quiet passages to prevent any 
 
mechanical noise from interfering with the program material.
But it’s not just the quantity of power that is important, it is also the quality of 
power that determines whether you can hear just a fiddle sound, or the unique 
character of a Stradivarius violin.
SOPHISTICATED CIRCUITRY
The  M25  is  comprised  of  7  individual  ‘Monoblock’  amplifier  channels.  Each 
channel uses a balanced junction FET input stage resulting in exceptionally low 
levels of noise and distortion. NAD employs a unique electronic ground isola-
tion circuit to prevent ground loop noise in the system – a common problem 
in complex multi-channel systems. This circuit offers high input impedance for 
negligible loading on source components which results in less noise and distor-
tion in the real world.
A fully complementary differential class A voltage amp with a push pull cascode 
output stage, provides ample current to drive the triple emitter-follower output 
stage. This circuit topology offers very low distortion combined with high current 
capability.
NAD’s PowerDrive™ circuitry measures each channel’s dynamic impedance
