Packed with Technology for Musicality
The Absolute Sound "Editors' Choice"
The intent focus on all NAD products is performance and reliability at a reasonable cost. The C 272 like all NAD products, achieves its performance through the employment of premium grade circuitry, innovative design and meticulous engineering.
The C 272 won the coveted "Editors' Choice Award" in the October 2006 issue of The Absolute Sound magazine, which reports, "The C 272 is well-balanced, with good resolution, three-dimensionality, and an overall warmth and robustness on most types of music."
The C 272 delivers 150-watts of continuous power into 4 or 8-ohms and is also 2-ohm stable. Additionally, the amp can be bridged into a mono configuration to deliver 400-watts at 8-ohms. The discrete circuitry eliminates noise and lowers overall distortion which also makes this a popular choice among audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts alike.
"Top-Tier Performance"
"I greatly admired the sound of NAD's C162 and C 272," reports Chris Martens in the July 2004 issue of The Absolute Sound magazine.
According to Chris, "They bring you close enough to top-tier performance in so many areas, with a sound that is so balanced and free from disruptive discontinuities, that you are released from preoccupation with audio equipment - and set free to savor (and become deeply content with) the beauty of music, itself. What could be a higher recommendation than that?"
"Sonically Unflappable"
"Sonically, this amp is unflappable," reports the About.com website. "Even with loud transients, one never senses that this box is giving up. The C 272 offers particular advantages in the areas of grain-free transparency, soundstage depth, and overall three-dimensionality."
