Hello everybody, it's my first post here.
I am thinking of buying a pair of Tritons 3 for my full digital NAD amplifier.
The 7050 is rated at 50wpc into 4 ohms. I wonder BTW why NAD chose the 4 ohm parameter.
How would the Tritons3 behave with such a source?
Hypothetical side question--how about Triton Ones?
My room is a square 15x15.
I will appreciate your advice.

Hi Nugat and welcome to the forum!!!!
Glad to have you join us here.
I have never heard of the NAD D7050, so I had to look it up. I do, however, have the Trition 3s and can tell you that they are not power hungry, I have run them with a 46 watt per channel tube amp reasonably well. They do play louder and sound better to me with the 200 wpc I am running them with now, but that is over kill.
I do not know what NAD's 50 watts into 4 ohms would be like in the real world of the T 3s running somewhere around 6 - 8 ohms most of the time. Probably fine.
You asked about NAD choosing to present the amp's power that way. I don't know why they did it, but I have to assume that it was because 50 wpc sounds twice as good as 25 wpc, which is what MOST (I am not saying this is true of this particular amp, I don't know) amps would be rated to into 8 ohms.
25 watts is on the low side of what I would like to run the T 3s, but should work. The built in sub has its own power, so that does the heavy lifting of the bass frequencies. Your amp will only have to power the midrange and tweeter. Try it, it should sound OK. But that amp is probably on the low side of what you want.
On the other hand, NAD is a well respected company, great reputation, so I would expect it to be a good amp.
Let us know if you get a listen and please tell us what you thought?
Have fun building a great system, happy listening,
God Bless,

Thanks Wayne! The NAD drives my Acoustic Energy Aegis Evo3 floor speakers and their sub.
They are all rated up to 150W at 8ohm. My average listening volume level is -20db, -10db is loud.
I read the Tritons are happy with low impedance amps, so the NAD might be a good match.
Next week I'll run some tests at my dealer. Will let you know.

This morning I ran my 25 watt Decware Zen Torii MK4 in 4 ohm...driving the Triton 2's -- sounded wonderful ( the Torri has a more intimate feel than a solid state amp) The only problem you may have with a lower watt amp is the necessary watts, if you desire to crank things up. In this situation you cause undue stress on the amp and the speakers. When I'm in the mood too "shake my tail feathers" (Candy Dulfer), I switch over to an Anthem Statement P2 (325 watts). When in an John Coltrane mood, it's back to the Torii.

Assuming the NAD is rated accurately and won't clip at 25 watts, you should be putting out over 100db on the T3s since they are rated with a 90db efficiency. For most of us, that is plenty loud. Unless of course you're in the mood to shake your tail feather and were able to spring for an Anthem Statement P2...

Cheers,
