Riverwood Acoustics The Madawaska Passive Bookshelf Speaker – Natural

The Madawaska Natural is a bookshelf speaker that praises the acoustic Gods. The ultra-dense 34-inch solid birch enclosure is made from historic old-growth timber reclaimed from the Ottawa River’s cold, dark depths. This ultra-dense “Riverwood” imparts superior tone and the intricate grain patterns and rich colour are breathtaking. The sleek design of the Madawaska allows for bookshelf-level, multi-channel configuration to fill the room with sound and style. Each stunning speaker is carefully handcrafted in the Ottawa Valley. They  prioritize using local sources, with 72% of the build cost going to businesses or people within 150 kilometers of our production facility. This gives Riverwood Acoustics complete confidence in the quality of their products! The Madawaska is much more than a speaker. It’s a work of art that will be proudly displayed in your home for years to come.
You don’t just hear the music with the Riverwood Acoustics “Madawaska,” you experience it! To provide perfect acoustic reproduction, their audiophile grade dual full range 3″ drivers are coupled with twin mount passive 3.5″ passive radiators. To ensure perfect electrical transmission, these studio monitors have impedance/length matched differential cabling that uses silver/tin solder directly to the driver. For acoustic bliss, Madawaska engineers injected a high quality 100V non-polarized electrolytic capacitor with an ultra low dissipation factor. Noise impurities are decoupled using specialized acoustic damping material. Their powerful 50W high efficiency speakers will fill any size room with a clear, undisturbed stereo soundstage of low, mid and high frequencies. Combine these studio monitors with any amplifier and you will have an unrivalled stereo or multi-channel system in the market today!

NAD D 3020 V2 Hybrid Digital DAC Amplifier

Reinventing an Icon

By adapting to today’s media sources and using state-of-the-art digital technology for the new world of digital music. The D 3020 puts a completely modern spin on a revered icon. The original designer of the 3020, NAD’s Director of Advanced Technology, Bjorn Erik Edvardsen, has been pivotal in developing the D 3020 for the new digital generation. Offering an excellent quality 24/192 DAC with 8 channels mixed to 2 for improved resolution, the D 3020 V2 represents the same kind of value-bending innovation that gave the original 3020 its legendary overachieving phono stage.

More Connected

The D 3020 offers inputs for your digital and analogue sources. Coaxial and optical inputs allow many different digital sources to be connected, from CD and DVD players, to set top boxes, media streamers like AppleTV, or satellite and cable receivers. There are also analogue inputs including a sophisticated MM Phono input. Far from just another set of sockets, this Phono stage includes highly accurate RIAA equalization, an Infrasonic Warp Filter, and features both high overload margins and extremely low noise. With V2 we’ve also added a PreOut for increased connectivity in the output stage.

Power that Delivers

Power output may sound small at 30W per channel. Like all NAD amplifiers this is very misleading. As a properly designed 30W amplifier can sound superior to a 100W amplifier from a lesser brand. With its very small form factor, the D 3020 will astound many for its ability to drive difficult loudspeakers to satisfying levels without adding noise or distortion.

Real World Performance

NAD rewrote the rules for amplifiers when designing the original 3020. Instead of letting laboratory test equipment have the last word, we made sure that we could properly drive real loudspeakers with real music for the real world. The D 3020 lives up to this promise through a unique implementation of NAD PowerDrive developed by Edvardsen. That allows low impedance drive (current) and high dynamic power (voltage) at vanishingly low distortion levels. This refinement of PowerDrive combined with a precision soft clipping circuit, lets the D 3020 sound even more powerful than it already is. Lastly, an innovative Bass EQ circuit helps small speakers sound big without overdriving or damaging ported woofers.

Stream with Bluetooth

The D 3020 V2 delivers the convenience of wireless streaming with its Bluetooth® capability. Stream all your music from a smartphone, tablet, or also laptop. The D 3020 even supports the highest audio quality Bluetooth, aptX®, which is becoming ever more popular for its excellent sound quality and low power consumption compared to Wi-Fi.

Mean and Green

The D 3020’s highly efficient design wastes less energy, requiring only 20% of the power needed by traditional Hi-Fi amplifiers. It’s like trading in a gas guzzling car for a hybrid vehicle. Standby power consumption is a miniscule <0.5W. NAD has taken amplification to new lows, with lower distortion, lower noise, and also lower power consumption. NAD’s major focus is to find new technology that improves musical performance while consuming less power and using fewer non-renewable resources in manufacturing.
