Top Pick of the Year:
NAD M33 Masters Series Streaming Integrated Amplifier
(December 2020/January 2021) Read Review
After gushing over its industrial design ("if the M33 did nothing but light up, I'd want one"), our reviewer Daniel Kumin stepped back to cooly assess the sonic merits of NAD's M33. The result? "In short, sonics-wise, no complaints. None." Much of the M33's performance is owed to its cutting-edge "Eigentakt"class-D power-amp modules from Danish company Purifi. Beyond that, NAD's Masters Series integrated amp offers Dirac Live room correction, BluOS streaming, and an excellent on-board phono preamp for a very complete all-in-one package. $5,000, nadelectronics.com
Finalists:
Parasound NewClassic 200 Integrated Amplifier
(April/May) Read Review
Parasound's NewClassic 200 appears impossibly slim for such a full-featured integrated. What's it got? A 2 x 110 watts per channel class-D amp, a 24-bit/192kHz DAC, a phono preamp compatible with both moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges, subwoofer outputs with variable analog-domain bass, and home theater-bypass connections. That's a lot of stuff for a cool-looking component priced at just over one grand. $1,195, parasound.com
Legacy Audio i·V 7 Seven-Channel Amplifier
(October/November) Read Review
Since the performance of your speakers depends largely on the capabilities of the amp attached to them, the multichannel amp in your home theater is not a place to compromise. Rated to deliver 7 x 610 watts into 8 ohms and 7 x 660 watts into 4 ohms (all channels driven) Legacy Audio's class-D i·V 7 epitomizes "no compromise." At around $8,000 it's not cheap, but its classy looks and clean, effortless sound will let you know where that money went. $7,995, legacyaudio.com
NAD Masters Series M28 Seven-Channel Amplifier
(February/March 2020) Read Review
Yet another NAD Masters Series offering packing Purifi's new "Eigentakt" class-D amp modules, the M28 7-channel amplifier is rated to deliver 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 340Wpc into 4 ohms. It has the same sleek design of other products in its series, and at five grand, makes for a compelling middle-price-range option. $5,000, nadelectronics.com

COMMENTS
It's nice to see a range of pricing across your picks - good to see a mid-range priced bookshelf speaker as your top pick of the year, and a $700 set of B&Ws to sit alongside some of the $5,000 options. It's a lot more helpful to most readers than just leaning hard into the top-end.
The feature set of that Monoprice preamp looks amazing, but am I the only one who thinks it looks ugly as sin? The aesthetics of most of monoprice's gear makes me cringe.
Couldnt agree more.
I havent heard any of their products other than basic hdmi cables and the like.
I find it hard to believe they can copycat their way into such high quality but maybe im mistaken.
This coming from someone who uses an old anthem receiver that is not the prettiest girl at the party but it does quite well under most conditions.
