NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier Review

OK but if you aim for "service", and you want to go "D2C", would you agree that to maintain that they would need facilities in all parts of the world? Would that really be cheaper? It's hard to get both, shipping time have gone trough the roof a distribution model is one way to offer great service to your customer. B2C model works for price value, but invariably, the service part is only going to be great near where you are located. In distribution, you can ship bulk, you distributor can handle the service. You can't having great service and expect low price, all these decisions involve compromising something.

I'm happy to pay more for great service.
It seems that many others are not happy about not having great sevice (and then complain when they do not get what they did not pay for).

I lowered the price to 1100$ USD, 1450$ CAD.
Shipping is included.
Will ship from the US to a US address and from Canada to a Canadian address. I can't see why having it located in Canada would "reduces the likelihood of US buyers."
I'm living part time in Canada and part time in the US.

Because most in the US market don't look outside of the US market.

Still you don’t need 100s of watts if you look at a McIntosh power amps at reasonable levels, it doesn’t even cross 10 watts !!

Well, with Dahlquist DQ-10 speakers: 75 watts a channel gets you to conversasionel levels of sound and double that (150 a channel) is just barely adequet.
300 a channel is about right, in that you can have adequet volume. (in a large room).
So: what speaker at what volume in what sized rom?
Otherwise you are just making distortion to the statement you made.

and don't forget the dynamics, at any moment music can add 6 / 9 dB easily. Any 3dB needs to double the power.

So, I prefer higher power to anything "is just right" stuff.
