Audio terminology is a curious business. The ‘just add speakers’ style of all-in-one systems has become a dominant part of the market, but determining quite how dominant is made more complex by how manufacturers refer to their creations. The NAD C 700 is a perfect case in point. It could be a standard all-in-one, but as far NAD is concerned, it’s a ‘streaming amplifier’. Indeed it’s the most affordable of the Canadian company’s streaming amp family.
