NAD Electronics C268 Power Amplifier NAD C268 Power Amp for sale. Excellent condition, no visible marks. Stereo but also bridgeable. I was using in a mono pair. Adjustable gain, balanced inputs, clean, powerful - lots to like here. Sales blurb: "The C268 is very flexible for a power amp - it can be run as a (2x) 80W rms 2 channel stereo power amplifier or it can be bridged to become a 300w RMS monobloc powerhouse. The C268 can be used in any system as it has both RCA and Balanced XLR inputs that feature manually controllable input gain trim. The NAD C268 is also the perfect companion when
The C268 has a solid reputation as a clean, flexible Class D power amp, and at A$900 this asking price sits a bit above the A$691 median but well below the A$1,668 75th percentile, so it reads as fair rather than a bargain or a stretch. With A$288 at the low end and A$1,668 above it, this is comfortably in the normal used-market band for a well-kept example.
What makes it attractive is the combination of compact size, strong efficiency, and enough current to make many speakers wake up without fuss. An excellent-condition unit is especially appealing here because these amps are often bought for long-term use, not tinkering, so a clean, complete listing can be a very sensible buy. At this price, I’d mainly want to confirm the usual basics: proper operation, no channel imbalance, and included essentials if you need them.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
NAD Electronics was founded in 1972 in London by a group of European audio importers frustrated with the hype surrounding Japanese hi-fi products. Led by visionary American executive Martin L. Borish and brilliant engineer Bjorn Erik Edvardsen, the company emerged from a quest to deliver high-performance audio at accessible prices. Their breakthrough came with the NAD 3020 integrated amplifier, the best-selling hi-fi amp in history, which embodied a philosophy of stripping away non-essentials to prioritize pure sound quality.
The brand focuses on core hi-fi categories, excelling in amplifiers—pioneering Class A/B, Class G, and hybrid digital designs—alongside integrated receivers, AV processors, turntables, CD and cassette players, and modern streamers. While not venturing into speakers, headphones, or cables, NAD emphasizes source components and amplification that integrate seamlessly into home theater and custom installation setups, always upholding principles of innovation, simplicity, performance, and value.
Today, as part of Canada's Lenbrook Group and sold in over 80 countries, NAD holds a commanding mid-tier position in the market, revered by audiophiles for affordable excellence rather than ultra-high-end excess. Its "Truth in Power" legacy earns cult status among knowledgeable buyers seeking reliable, award-winning gear that punches above its price, blending vintage heritage with contemporary streaming and hybrid tech.
