That product would be integrity. When we resolved to start this publication, we resolved to review the best of the best. In order to serve the other-end of the market (and our friends, coincidentally), we created a sister-publication, Hi Fy. It would also cover the studio-end of the market (those products available at typical music and value-level retailers), however we never began it, and instead populated Hi Fi Art with all manner of shenanigans - products from iFi and the like, which are excellent, but not high-end.
The NAD M2 ($5999.00 USD) sits in the middle of both camps. We would, were we a music retailer, call it mid-end. It has a well-designed top panel, and the rear pannel is not without good binding posts and RCA connectors (though strangely few).
The front panel has the start of tempo -and- solidity.
You can tell that putting more money into those component would both simplify it, and elevate it to reference stass. [Status] We are drawn to it, but that's not to say we like it.
The NAD M2. It's appearance of solidity (front) and exuberance [back] brings us to describe it.
