Product Highlights

The NAD Electronics C298 solid-state power amplifier delivers 185 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 340 watts into 4 ohms with a peak output current exceeding 25 amperes. Engineered to anchor reference audio systems, this unit utilizes Purifi Eigentakt Class D technology to drive demanding loudspeakers with absolute neutrality and authority. Its switchable bridge mode transforms the stereo chassis into a monoblock supplying 620 watts into 8 ohms. The rear panel provides selectable balanced XLR and single-ended RCA inputs, variable gain control, line outputs for daisy-chaining, and signal-sensing auto turn-on.

Critical acclaim earned this component an EISA Award for Best Power Amplifier alongside The Absolute Sound Solid-State Power Amplifier of the Year honor. Reviewers across publications like Stereophile praise its transparent, uncolored sonic signature, citing an expansive soundstage and remarkable detail. Critics frequently highlight its visceral bass drive and authoritative control, noting that its dynamic headroom rivals far costlier reference designs.

Integrating this amplifier into your system establishes an uncompromised foundation that allows upstream electronics to perform at their best. Its versatile architecture provides an effortless path for future expansion, whether driving complex full-range towers or operating in bridged mono pairs. For the enthusiast seeking reference transparency and raw power, it offers a deeply engaging presentation that brings every recording to life.
