Headroom Notes

Unlike the rest of NAD's current line the two loads get different numbers here: >80 W into 8 ohms, 100 W into 4 ohms. The distortion limit published alongside them, <0.04 %, is qualified '250mW to 90W, 4 ohms' - it is stated for the 4 ohm load only, so no distortion figure is recorded against the 8 ohm rating.

What the datasheet actually says

Quoted verbatim from the manufacturer’s own page, with the date we checked it. We state what is printed, not what anyone intended by it.

Measurement conditions

«Continuous output power into 8 ohms and 4 ohms | >80W / 100W (ref. 20 Hz-20 kHz at rated THD+N, both channels driven) ; THD+N (20 Hz – 20 kHz) at rated power | <0.04 % (250mW to 90W, 4 ohms)»

The power row refers to 'rated THD+N'; the row that defines rated THD+N covers 250 mW to 90 W into 4 ohms. The 8 ohm rating is 80 W, so the distortion limit that the 8 ohm number is said to be measured at is never printed for an 8 ohm load. Both numbers are the manufacturer's; the two rows simply do not describe the same load.
