NAD really needs to think about branching out into the iron mining industry as they seem to build all their products look like WWII tanks, and that's fine with us but the M25 was pushing the line. It was massive (almost 44kgs!), needing four hands attached to two heavily breathing bodies that were trying to say "What the hell is this thing?" but all that came out was a strained "Uggghhh!". The M15, although still pretty heavy (13kgs), felt like a feather after that. The dark-grey metallic, finely-gapped-for-heat-release cabinets of the M15 and M25 are akin to all the NAD products we've had the opportunity to review.
The same goes for the front panel which consists of a silver metallic base plate covered by the same dark-grey, slightly raised metal plate holding the metal buttons and the blue LED (for the M15). The M25, being that it's a power amp that has no function besides amplifying the hell out of 7 channels has no buttons on it besides the power button on the left and seven little LED lights that light up as soon as you power it up. Overall, these guys are completely a man's indulgence as a woman's aesthetic tastes - that usually consists of a blend of subtlety, softness and feminine colour combinations - will be put to quite a test with the brawniness this combination strappingly expresses.
