Nad 218THX Amps.
« on: 30 Apr 2004, 11:24 pm »
Hey guys:
      I've been using two Nad 218THX amps in mono and biwired to run my speakers. Lately I've been reading that these amps. aren't worth a crap. I've been very pleased with how everything sounds but now in the back of my peanut brain something says that I should look for new amps. Anybody out there got advice?

                   Thanks
                    Charlie

If you're happy, then you're happy.  Spend your money on something else, like music, hookers and booze.  :wink:

You must always trust others opinions over your own ears, especially if they're anonymous audio forum posters.  Hell, everyone knows that if it's printed it must be true.  :wink:

Of course, if you go that route you'll find that no matter what you buy someone will criticize it and/or tell you there's something better.  Then you're off to buy another new amp.

Or, you could just enjoy the "good sound" that you've been deluded into enjoying over the years.  Can you guess what I recommend?  :lol:

As always, I can't fault Marbles advice, either.  Unless you're married!  :o  If so the 'hookers' part isn't likely to go over real well with the missuz...

I'd say whoever wrote that isn't worth a crap.
Time to change your reading material !

 :P

The 218 (and earlier 208) are great VFM amps that sound good and are still sort after.


cheers,
