NAD M33 and which speakers?

I was curious what NAD was up to these days, had a look, very modern, impressive, much of it way beyond my 73 yr old dog mind,

just two limitations I would want to be aware of

1. very limited rca inputs, limiting for me, not if digital is your thing. 

2. no 'HT Bypass' Inputs. If you ever think it would be part of a music/ht system, as the 'front stereo system', this would be a reason to consider others.

this starts out wrong, gets it right in the end

that feature may not interest you, but if you ever sell it, it's a feature some will want, your buying audience widens. 

Thanks for this advice! Just to be used with a single pair of speakers and Roon. Now, the question is what standmount speakers...

I am an NAD dealer and the M33 does well with a broad range of speakers.  It is neutral to warm and that amp section punches well above its weight.  I have had it hooked up with mine (Verdant), Wilson Benesch Vertexes, Vivid Kaya 45s and a pair of Sopra 1s.  All of these are neutral to forward and it paired well.  It deals well with slightly lower impedance.  Admittedly, I didn't crank it up to 11, but at normal listening levels, they all paired well and I thought it really shined with the Wilson Benesch.  

I would steer clear of overly warm speakers as your sound might get a little dark.  I would also steer clear of really bright speakers as it may not be warm enough to tame the brightest.  I 

I am not familiar with the speakers you mention above so can't offer a POV on them.  Let us know your budget, room size and listening preferences and habits and we may be able to offer better advice.

If the PuriFi implementation in the NAD is anything like the one available through Apollon and other assembly houses, the M33 should do fine with any speaker that you like. The PuriFi amps are load invariant and interact less with speakers than just about anything else on the market. So it comes down to the speakers that you think match your own tastes.

That amp will drive anything well so you have your choice of pretty much anything. 

Start with whatever Harbeth you can afford and take it from there...

I have a pair of the Amphion 7LS and I am running them off a similar integrated streaming amp set up and it sounds pretty incredible so I would imagine the Argon 3S would work excellently as well!

I use my M33 with Paradigm 3F floor speakers. Love the sound.  I haven’t heard the Persona B stand speakers, but I would certainly give them a listen.  Paradigm Persona high end speakers are beautifully constructed with choice of several colours and produce beautiful sound.  Made in Canada with not a huge share of the American market.  Selling them in Canada, they move very quickly.  Good Luck.

I have them hooked up to KEF LS50 Metas. 

I used Monitor Audio Gold 100’s and they were amazing in my small bedroom setup.

Thanks to everyone for your great thoughts and advice. The adventure continues...

I have my M33 hooked up to pair of Studio Electric M4's.  Really nice pairing. 

Thanks for this note. Haven’t listened to the Studio Electrics. Would be curious to hear them.

the sound was mesmerizing

With Dirac set up the sound was beyond my expectations
