RE: Same for the new NAD or Atsah nc500 monoblocks...

I scanned thru the review. I don't know if the reviewer noted the compromise involved with a 400-a-side amp of only 25lb.
Long Term power output will be severely limited by heatsink or lack thereof. In real-world listening this is not that important except for someone who routinely redlines the amp and plays music with very low crest factor. I can't offhand think of an example.
But it's on the table as a 'limit', though not necessarily one to be over concerned with. Like I've said before, I owned a 'd' integrated and NEVER came up such limit in about 5 or 6 years of ownership even into fairly low sensitivity panels.
And as an additional aside, the few times I've heard the N-core stuff (the NC1200 at THE show) I've been pleasantly entertained.
Too much is never enough
