A used NAD 2600A at US$350 sits comfortably below the recent median of US$450 and under the 25th percentile of US$400, so this reads as a strong-value buy rather than a merely fair one. For a classic NAD power amp, that’s a sensible place to be if the unit is working properly and not hiding restoration costs.
The appeal here is straightforward: these older NAD amps are liked for honest, muscular sound, solid current delivery, and a no-nonsense presentation that still makes sense in a serious vintage setup. If it’s clean, original, and hasn’t been abused, the upside is good value for a respected piece that can anchor a system without spending big. Age is always part of the equation with vintage amps, but at this price the balance clearly favors the buyer.
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.
