About the 705

The NAD 705 stereo receiver delivers 40 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 90 watts into 4 ohms, with a refined tuner section offering clear reception in 25 kHz steps. Manufactured between February 1992 and October 1995, it includes features such as input selection, A/B speaker selection, mute, and an NAD system remote control. The amplifier uses NAD's Power Envelope design to deliver peak envelope power well beyond continuous ratings, with soft clipping circuitry to minimize distortion during peaks. The receiver supports multiple inputs including phono with a quiet preamp suitable for magnetic cartridges, line inputs, and tape inputs. It has a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, total harmonic distortion of 0.03%, and a damping factor of 60. The front panel is functional and uncluttered, finished in dark gray, with knobs for bass, treble, balance, and volume (motorized for remote control). It can store up to 39 AM/FM presets in nonvolatile memory. Rear panel connections include preamp out/main amp in jacks for external processing, multi-room outputs, and NAD Link jacks for multi-room systems. Dimensions are approximately 420 x 105 x 318 mm, weighing about 6.6 kg. The unit is noted for its sound quality, versatility, and robust build, and remains sought after by enthusiasts.
