Continuing NAD’s long tradition of identifying and implementing cutting-edge amplification technology, the M23 V2 Stereo Power Amplifier employs the newest generation of Eigentakt™ Class D stereo amplifier modules. Harmonic and intermodulation distortion are almost immeasurable at all frequencies and output levels. Noise is inaudible, delivering your music with the utmost clarity and transparency. Output impedance is also extremely low, ensuring iron-clad control of any loudspeaker load and consistent bass performance at any listening level. For those seeking the best in audiophile stereo amplifier performance, the M23 V2 is a compelling choice.

IN A CLASS OF ITS OWN

The ideal audiophile amplifier will combine vanishingly low distortion, ultra-high damping, and rock-solid stability with any loudspeaker.

This design enables the M23 V2 to outperform typical Class D amplifier implementations, delivering unmatched musical performance and energy efficiency—all without the weight and heat of traditional analogue power stages. Thanks to NAD’s expert implementation, the M23 offers superior performance in power, transparency, and efficiency, making it a leading contender for the best amplifier in its class.

The M23 V2 can also operate in bridged mode, delivering 700W of continuous power into 8 ohms. For those building a powerhouse system, two M23 V2 amplifiers can be paired in bridge mode, with a one-second delay built into the 12V trigger output to prevent surge spikes. Listeners can also pair the M23 V2 with the NAD M33 V2 integrated amplifier in bridged mode, creating a formidable setup with 700W per channel—ideal for hi-fi streaming amplifier enthusiasts looking for power and control with BluOS streaming capabilities.

I love being able to give my Forte IVs a completely different vintage look by easily swapping my grill sets out.

Showed up literally the next day, and would have never known that it was an open box. This is the 2nd time I have purchased a large ticket item from them and the 2nd time they have absolutely impressed.

Fantastic!! They sound great!!

Well built and generally sound design. Two flaws (one apparent and one potential); transport appears clunky and flimsy and although it shows in its photos having power meters, there are no obvious ways to access that feature as there is no manual and the online manual doesn’t discuss it. Lastly, I seem to keep having drop outs with Apple Music streaming. Not sure if it is the Apple App, the wifi or BT reception.

Significant step up from the 2M Blue. Very happy with this purchase.

Actually heavier than it looks, which suggests some real components inside. Setup was super easy. The sound through my Rotel RC10670 and RB1070 feeding B&W 805 S speakers and HSU subwoofer is great. Dead silent when there’s no music. VeryAccurate sound.

Very impressive and easy to use. Great for streaming music!

The cables are settling in and sounding great.
By chance do you have a Martin Logan Stage X inventory or know where I can get one?

sounds great - color isn't excactly what I saw online

Easy to use; quiet operation; music quality very good for the price.

the cable is what it states it is big and heavy and flows a lot of power needed

Great streaning amp. I love that it looks like my old Yamaha CA-810 amp. However, all of the new tech and connections make the R-N2000A a more than worthy successor.

Great entry level audiophile turntable!

The Eversolo A-8 is a beautiful and very functional DAC Streamers. Aaron service was on point. All thumbs up for Safe and Sound

These are amazing speakers. I did a lot of reading reviews about these before I purchased them. And just like almost all the reviewers said, they sound incredible! The sound does bounce off the walls and immerses you with sound. Even played at low volume, The sound is just pure and realistic. I would highly recommend these to anyone who loves all kinds of music !

The speakers arrived in great condition and the sound really fills my space well. Thank you!

I was genuinely surprised by how much of an impact the Esprit Aura had coming from the Esprit Celesta. The soundstage is dramatically larger and fine details are significantly improved versus the Celesta. The bass was also significantly improved too, bringing deeper extensions on the bottom end just like the better details on the high end. The difference is so significant that’s it’s hard to give a single example because it affected everything so dramatically. As an example though, symbols taper off slower, as it preserves the softer part of the roll off that wasn’t being preserved via the Esprit Celesta cable.
My system consists of a Hifi Rose RS152 going to the RA280 integrated. Speakers are the Audel Magika Plus. Going from the streamer to the amp was a Celesta XLR interconnect.

Excellent upgrade from the 2M Red.

By far the best listening experience of any speakers I’ve owned.

I like the unit, but I have a metal roof of my house. What kind of antenna do I need? I’m having a hard time getting channels.

Great they showed up in beautiful condition, they sound great i really have been enjoying them!
