It was an inexpensive unit that sounded great for what it was. My father was the original NAD NYC Area sales rep back when they came out.
It had flexibility with the in and out amp option clips, great phono section for moving magnet cartridge and could handle almost all loads from just about any speaker, doubling down with each ohm value all the way to 2 ohms. It had the soft clipping feature which I used and know saved a lot of tweeters in my room.
It was one of my first systems with a Dual 1219 turntable and stereo tech speakers.
As someone mentioned if it has not been updated you will not get the benefits of it.
I also had the 3080 integrated and it was a beast (For back then) mid fi of course.
It was all the rage just like the SPICA TC50 speakers were in the 80's
I actually still have a 7020 which was the same unit except with a tuner as a receiver in my bedroom system driving ADS L910's
I have not heard the new unit so I cannot speak to any comparison.
