Late to the party, but in my own experience and if you go look at the AVS Forum discussions about the T778, they all die within a few years. Lots of early warning signs like loud pops and clicks when you turn it on, constant fan noise, idiotic user interface.. I got a factory refurb after two warranty repairs, and then the factory refurb died. Out of warranty now. Not worth the cost to repair since the repairs are only temporary. So there is a $3,500 giant electronic brick in my basement.
NAD Near Future HT Products?
I've been a happy NAD user for decades starting with the old NAD 3020 integrated amp I purchased in college. I'm still using an NAD T753v3 to power my surround and for two-channel listening. Also running BlueSound Vault for all my music listening. Had planned on upgrading to the NAD T778 for more power (which I don't really need) and the touch screen capabilty. But I'm wondering if anyone has any insight into if/when they plan on introducing new models. It seems like the lineup hasn't changed in many years. I've been told the 778 would essentially be the same exact sound I have now. Would hate to upgrade and then hear the company is bring out a new line up soon.
