NAD 7060 Stereo Receiver

This is a classic late 1970's silver face model from NAD. All lights and functions are in great condition and I am 'testing' it as I write it up for the site!

300 watts power consumption I would estimate this unit to be 40~50 watts RMS power output.

I have swapped out my Sansui au555 and put this into it's place for a bit of a listen. The detail is great, the bass seems a bit more punchy than the 555 but still tight and well defined. The sound is brighter than I am used to with good presence. I will get around to coupling it up to my vintage Celestion Ditton speakers which I think will be a very good match and should neutralise the brightness a little.

Anyone who has read my amp reviews will know that I often refer to NAD as amplifiers that tend to polarize peoples opinion about them. You either love them or not!

I have typically remained a bit cool toward NAD equipment but last week connected the model 120 receiver up to the Celestion Dittons to give it a final run before it was collected and was very impressed with what I heard. Perhaps the first time I have experienced a set of speakers realising a 'new' sound from an amp. It looks like I might be moving into the pro NAD camp after all.

This unit is made in Taiwan, for those not familiar with NAD, this was one of the first companies to 'out source' manufacturing preferring to concentrate on development over manufacturing. A philosophy they continue to this day. This is credited with allowing them to keep prices down while still delivering superb sound quality. It certainly worked in the 70's!
