The NAD 7100 Monitor Series Stereo Receiver, released around 1989, integrates the 3100 amplifier with a highly sensitive and selective AM/FM tuner. It delivers a conservative continuous power output of 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms, with dynamic peak power reaching over 200 watts per channel without clipping, thanks to NAD's 'Power Envelope' design. The receiver supports bridging the power amp section to double the power output. It features a phono stage compatible with both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges, including an infrasonic filter switch. The tuner is capable of pulling in and isolating very weak stations with FM and MW bands. The unit includes inputs for two additional components and two recording decks with bi-directional dubbing. It comes with a remote control that can operate other NAD Monitor Series components. The NAD 7100 is praised for its clean, honest soundstage, wide imaging, and vivid high-end response. It has a motorized analog volume control and a user-friendly control layout. Dimensions are 435 x 110 x 400 mm, and it weighs 11 kg. The receiver is housed in a metal case and supports speaker loads from 2 to 8 ohms. It remains a respected classic for analog stereo enthusiasts.
