At US$450, this is below the 25th percentile of the recent US$482–US$547 comp band, so it reads as a strong deal rather than a merely fair one. Versus the US$515 median, you’re getting about US$65 of cushion, which is meaningful in a market with only two recent comparable asking prices to anchor to.
That makes it worth a close look because the NAD 2600A is a respected old-school power amp: plenty of current, a straightforward layout, and the kind of solid, musical presentation many vintage hi-fi buyers still chase. If it’s been serviced, runs cool, and the channels are clean, the upside is real at this price. The only caveat worth caring about is age-related upkeep—ask about bias, relays, and any history of recap or repair—but those concerns are manageable when the ask is already this sensible.
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.
