£150 is a fair asking price, sitting close to the £147 median from 14 recent comparables, but it is not a bargain: the 25th–75th percentile runs from £84 to £161. With the condition unknown, the price really depends on whether it has been tested and presents well.
The 3225 PE is a particularly appealing vintage NAD: compact, musically lively, and equipped with a respectable MM phono stage, useful tone controls, and enough current delivery for many real-world speakers. At this money it makes sense if the controls are quiet, both channels behave properly, and the seller can demonstrate it under load. Ask specifically about hum, channel imbalance, scratchy pots, and whether the original capacitors or other service work have been addressed; a clean, fully working example would justify £150.
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.
