Founded in 1972, NAD is a leader in hi-fi and home theater audiophile gear, designing and manufacturing everything from portable wireless music players to high-end listening room components. The absolute rock-bottom principle from which NAD design philosophy operates is that good design is never at the listener’s expense. The company throws ingenuity rather than money at design challenges. After identifying the price levels at which NAD’s designers can take significant steps in performance, they focus on supplying everything they would want in a given product.
