NAD M3 Master Series Amp


I'm using a M3 in my home system as a 2ch. amp for critical music listening. I use the same L&R speakers also in a Home Theater setup using a Onkyo Receiver. Unfortunately I have to switch speaker wires each time I decide to listen to stereo music or watch movies because the sound from the Receiver on 2ch music is not that great, even bi-amped.

The M3 does not have a HT bypass. I've heard there is a simple way to upgrade this amp for bypass but I can't find any information on where or how to do it. Anyone have any information?

Thanks in advance,

You can set up your M3 to simulate HT bypass. Just plug your L/R from the Onkyo into any line level input and then set the volume level of the M3 to a reproducible setting that matches the Onkyo volume levels. You will probably have to play with both the M3 volumn control and the Onkyo volume adjusts, but once set all you have to do is set the M3 to the reproducible volume setting when you want to do HT. I think the M3 has a digital volume readout, so setting the volume reproducible should be easy.
