NAD AV 713 Surround Sound Receiver

NAD (New Acoustic Dimension) was founded in London, United Kingdom, in 1972 by Martin Borish and a group of high-fidelity audio enthusiasts. The brand's philosophy focused on performance over aesthetics, leading to the creation of the legendary 3020 amplifier. While the design and engineering remained rooted in the UK and later Canada, the manufacturing of their electronics, including this AV 713 receiver, was primarily outsourced to specialized factories in Asia, particularly China and Taiwan, to maintain competitive pricing.

In 1999, NAD was acquired by the Lenbrook Group of Ontario, Canada, which also owns brands like PSB Speakers and Bluesound. Under Lenbrook's leadership, NAD transitioned into the digital age, focusing on high-resolution audio and network streaming while maintaining its reputation for high-quality audio engineering. Today, the brand remains a major player in the audiophile market, owned and headquartered in Canada with global manufacturing partnerships.
