1 year agoHigh current means it has a good power supply and sufficient output devices to provide it. It doesn’t really mean much unless they tell you the load impedance.
I remember a review a long time ago where a 45W Pioneer receiver put out the same 12.5A as a 50W Mark Levinson separate amp that was touted for it’s current output ;)

NAD uses small power supplies, that is their “virtue”. Show me an amp with high dynamic range and I’ll show you an amp with an undersized power supply.
