NAD Introduces Two High-Performance A/V Receivers

Sharon, MA-based NAD Electronics, no stranger to audiophiles as a company that produces high-quality audio gear at reasonable prices, strikes again with the release of two new AVRs: the T747 and T737 (I suppose they remind the designers of high-flying aircraft).

The 60wpc T747 includes high-def codecs from Dolby and DTS, including TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio. And for traditionalists, AM and FM tuners with 50 station presets are featured, alsong with XM Ready socket supports, and an optional IPD 2 Dock for iPod. For video playing, the T747 supports 1080p and includes 4 HDMI inputs. It can upscale analog video formats and standard-def signals.

You can get all of these features for $1,299.

As for the T737, at $799 you get 50wpc and a system of “virtual inputs” that let you customize setup by naming and associating the input with any video and audio source, analog or digital. You can also customize different speaker setups, levels, tone controls, and surround modes.

The T737 supports Dolby Digital EX and DTS ES, alsong with Dolby ProLogic IIx and DTS Neo:6. Video support is component and S-video (HDMI signals are switched without loss of quality).
