A complete NVA amplifier system…
P50SA MKII preamplifier, S150 power amplifier, M300 monoblock power amplifiers
A HiFi WigWam review by Richard Bowles
All together now…
NVA is something of a ‘boutique’ brand, known for its founder’s somewhat eccentric approach to design. A comment that can equally be made about its marketing, or lack thereof. Nevertheless, NVA has undergone some changes of late, and though the characterful nature remains, the product range has expanded substantially. The opportunity to review a number of the company’s amplifiers, and it’s top of the range passive preamplifier, was too good to miss. Hence, the arrival here of a P50SAMKII preamplifier, S150 power amplifier, two M300 mono power amplifiers and an assortment of interconnects and speaker cables. The aim was to run a complete amplifier setup, with the S150 for treble and the M300s for mid/bass. The majority of the review is with that configuration, although I did swap around a little and there is also a part about the preamplifier, as this will doubtless be considered as a standalone purchase by some. As a result, I make no apologies for the review being somewhat extended.
