Selling this old beast to make room. She works; sounds great, but there's a bit of rust, a dent on the top, and the front panel has come unglued. She's also missing a foot. I found her at a yard sale for a few bucks during the pandemic and used her as an amp with the NAD 1000 for movies. A bit of an overkill, I realize, but those were different times.
Condition is unknown, but at US$100 this is a strong bargain versus the recent USD comps: well below the US$354 25th percentile and far under the US$393 median. Even allowing for unknowns, that gap is big enough to call it an excellent buy if it powers up cleanly.
The 2200 is a respected classic NAD power amp: honest wattage, good dynamic drive, and the kind of muscular, understated sound that pairs well with efficient speakers or as a sub/surround duty amp. At this price, the value is in securing a healthy unit; just verify it runs quietly, both channels work, and there’s no obvious relay or output issue before handing over the cash.
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.
