NAP 250 DR, with PMC twenty5 26 speakers

Posted by: Meerkat on 18 September 2018

Hi everyone...Is a NAP 250 DR powerful enough to comfortably drive PMC twenty5 26 speakers?

I was informed, that on a rare occasion, if driven at high levels for a long period, the NAP 250 DR has been known to shut down and go into safety mode. Has anyone come across this before?

Thanks

I will be quite intrigued to read your reports of the PMC speakers with the Nap 300 in your room.

Meerkat: will the 250DR be onsite for comparisons?

No they won't, I have decided on the 300DR. That way, my system will be more or less bullet proof...yea right!

lovely choice, I upgraded from 200 to 300 and the DR last year - more control, focus, sound stage and just more musical depth to 300

i loved my 200 so much I kept it in my system for 12 years, but the 300 (now DR) is on another level - if you are ever passing my way and want to hear NDX,282,HCDR,300Dr let me know

enjiy the music

Hello Meerkat. I have the 250DR with the PMC twenty.5.26 speakers, and have had no problems whatsoever. A delightful combination.

I could add more details, but essentially this is a very sweet combination to my ears. Very clear, very detailed, not in your face, very engaging.

Cheers
