NAD M28
The NAD M28 Seven Channel Power Amplifier brings a new level of precision to multi-channel listening. Built around Purifi Eigentakt™ amplification and NAD’s HybridDigital architecture, it delivers 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms across all seven channels, allowing demanding soundtracks and music to remain clear and composed. Whether reproducing subtle detail or large dynamic swings, the M28 maintains separation and balance across every channel, creating a more natural and engaging listening experience for both film and music.
- Seven channels of Purifi Eigentakt™ amplification
- NAD HybridDigital™ design and engineering
- 200W per channel into 8 ohms (all channels driven)
- High dynamic power for demanding multi-channel content
- Extremely low noise and distortion across all channels
- Wide, consistent frequency response into varying speaker loads
- Fully balanced XLR inputs for low-noise signal transmission
- Graceful overload behaviour with fast recovery
- Compact, energy-efficient design with low heat output
BALANCED PERFORMANCE ACROSS ALL CHANNELS (Section 1 of 4)
With full power available to every channel, the M28 maintains clarity and separation across complex film and TV soundtracks. Dialogue stays focused and easy to follow, while effects and ambient details are placed accurately within the scene. Whether it’s a fast-moving action sequence or a layered soundtrack, each element remains distinct, allowing you to follow what’s happening without distraction.
POWER THAT PRESERVES IMPACT AND NUANCE (Section 2 of 4)
The M28 combines high continuous output with substantial dynamic headroom, allowing it to handle sudden changes in volume without strain. Explosive scenes carry weight and scale, while quieter moments, such as dialogue or subtle background sounds, remain clear and easy to follow. This contrast helps preserve the full emotional range of movies and music without losing important information.
EIGENTAKT™ AMPLIFICATION, REFINED (Section 3 of 4)
The M28 employs Purifi Eigentakt™ amplification to reduce distortion and noise to extremely low levels, allowing more of the original recording to come through without added colouration. Dialogue sounds natural, effects are well defined, and music retains its tonal balance. Even during demanding scenes, the presentation remains smooth and easy to listen to.
BUILT FOR SYSTEM INTEGRATION (Section 4 of 4)
The M28 is designed to integrate easily into high-performance multi-channel systems. Balanced XLR and single-ended RCA inputs support a wide range of processors, while high-quality binding posts ensure secure speaker connections. Its compact, energy-efficient design allows it to fit into dedicated racks or custom installations without excess heat or bulk, making it a practical foundation for advanced home theatre systems.

NAD M28 — Seven‑channel reference‑class power
The NAD M28 pairs seven of NAD’s in‑house Purifi Eigentakt Class‑D modules with conservative, reference‑style engineering to deliver visceral headroom and exceptional clarity. Reviewers from Chris Eberle, SoundStage Solo, and Tony O'Brien highlight its ability to drive demanding loads without strain, revealing microdetail while retaining musical warmth. Imaging is wide and coherent, making film soundtracks and complex orchestral passages feel three‑dimensional. The M28’s brushed two‑tone chassis, per‑channel XLR/RCA inputs and robust binding posts reflect thoughtful industrial design and rack‑friendly dimensions. Ideal for serious home‑theater systems and multi‑channel music setups, the M28 offers reference dynamics and neutrality across seven channels, making it a compelling choice for audiophiles seeking power, precision, and long‑term system flexibility.
Pros
- Reference‑level dynamics and headroom across seven channels; drives demanding speakers without audible strain.
- Extremely neutral yet musical presentation with high resolution and low grain, preserving microdetail and natural timbre.
- Robust, well‑thought‑out build and connectivity: solid chassis, per‑channel XLR/RCA inputs and high‑quality binding posts for clean installations.
&
Cons
- Channel ID markings are small and can be hard to read once speaker cables are connected, which complicates setup.
- Warranty length noted as relatively short in one review, which may concern buyers seeking longer coverage.

Dynamics
95/100
Reviewers consistently praised the M28's headroom and authority: StereoNET described "limitless amounts of power" and "earth‑moving volume levels," while HomeTheaterHifi noted that soft passages retain delicacy and loud material stays clean. Specs back this up (≥220 W/ch into 8 Ω, ≥400 W into 4 Ω, IHF dynamic power to 560 W into 4 Ω and a very high damping factor >750), and reviewers reported it driving difficult loads without strain, so dynamics are essentially reference‑level for a high‑power Class‑D multichannel amp.
Soundstage Imaging
94/100
Reviewers reported a broad, highly coherent soundfield: HomeTheaterHifi and SoundStage Solo both noted expanded soundstage and holographic depth, with instruments and dialog precisely placed in a 360° presentation. The amp's clarity and neutrality let microdetail and placement shine even at high levels, supporting a very high imaging score.

Build Quality
92/100
Build and engineering were praised—StereoNET noted thoughtful industrial design and high‑quality finish, and the amp uses NAD's in‑house Purifi Eigentakt modules and a substantial chassis (21.2 kg) suggesting robust power‑supply and thermal design. No thermal or reliability issues were reported in reviews; combined with high measured damping factor and solid connectivity, the M28 rates very highly for construction and internal design.
Value for Money
95/100
Reviewers were emphatic about value: HomeTheaterHifi called the M28 "a tremendous value" (review referenced a $4,999 price), StereoNET labelled it "outstanding value for money," and SoundStage Solo compared it favorably to competing amps at similar cost. Even using the product datasheet price point ($6,999), the combination of seven reference‑level channels (≥220 W/8 Ω, ≥400 W/4 Ω), Purifi Eigentakt modules, and the consistently high sonic performance reviewers report supports a strong value judgment in its competitive segment.
