About the 218 THX
This amplifier is part of NAD's lineup of high-powered amplifiers, featuring a robust design with a Holmgren toroidal transformer and multiple small reservoir capacitors for low source impedance and quick current response. It includes balanced and unbalanced inputs, a 'soft clipping' feature to protect speakers from excessive high-frequency energy, and can be operated in bridged mono mode for increased power output.
