This is a buyer’s market for this category right now, and £100 lands a bit above the current median of £85 but still comfortably inside the normal spread for comparable UK listings. It’s not a bargain-bin price, but it’s also not ambitious given the £78–£113 middle band.
The appeal here is straightforward: this is a respected, musical integrated amp with a strong reputation for getting out of the way and making modest speakers sound lively and coherent. If the unit is clean, fully working, and unmodified, it’s an easy one to recommend at £100. The main thing to check is the usual age-related stuff — scratchy controls, relay issues, and whether it’s been serviced — but at this price those are sensible due-diligence points, not deal-breakers.
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.
