NAD T752 5.1 Channels Receiver

Pros: Great sound quality for the money.
Cons: Bugs/flaws makes one test the unit thoroughly before buying.

I bought an open-box demo of the T752 from a local dealer. A few thoughts first on what I look for in a quality audio experience. First, the amplifier section should state its true output power. Many receivers today are published with specs that say ...

Pros: Great sound with all the features one could need
Cons: non

Great sound without the bells & whistles. Absolutely no issues. My receiver has been bullet proof. No fan noise and no bugs at all. It is driving 4 ohm difficult speakers without problems. Well worth the money. My other system is a Linn so my standards are high and i do not profess that it equals the Linn but it is excellent value.

Pros: sounds great when it's not broken
Cons: it's broken all the time

Me too, like so many others, had nothing but problems with my T752. Spent the whole 2 year guarantee period installing and uninstalling it, returned it 3 times (!) for different severe problems - repair periods of 2 months. At the end of its guarantee period (last week) I returned it - defect - again, and got a new T753 in return. Which I only accepted after a written money-back-if-defect guarantee. It's so frustrating, because the amp sounds awesome.

Pros: Sounds good when it works, ease of use
Cons: Reliability, bugs

I would be very cautious when purchasing a NAD receiver. I just purchased a T752 and right out of the box I have no sub output in all modes except for 7.1 Matrix and EARS. I sound tested NAD and it sounds great, when it works. I read multiple reviews and came to the conclusion that in the early stages the 752 had a lot of bugs and the newer makes took care of the problems. When talking to the sales person about these issues he also noted there were a lot of returns on the newer makes. Ive read multiple posts about these being DOA, channels dont work, humming, hissing, popping...the list goes on. It comes with a 2 year warranty, be prepared to use it. The upgrades fix one problem but create another. I wont even use my warranty Ive had it 2 days and it will be returned for a Rotel.

Pros: Great sound, simple functional design
Cons: Needs external amp for than 5.1 setup

I bought a refurbed 752 from a local authorized dealer. Looked great out of the box, Couldn't see any scratches or use marks anywhere. It's been up and running for about 3 weeks now. No problems at all. Sound is very clean.
No problem with sub output, I have a 5.1 setup.

Setup is very easy using the OSD. Flexible options when setting up and saving particular listening modes.

The remote is a nice solid design and can learn other brands. I like it but will probably get a third party one, only because running a TV, cable, DVD, Tivo and VCR through it gets a bit difficult for me to remember which buttons do which.

For the money I am satisfied with this receiver.
