Against 1,053 comparable listings, £410 sits just below the £415 75th percentile and well above the £192 median, so it is a strong-condition premium rather than a bargain. The price is defensible if “immaculate, low use” is accurate, but it is near the ambitious end of the used market; a little negotiation would make it more compelling.
The CI 940 is a useful, properly engineered custom-install amplifier: four clean 35-watt channels, two-zone stereo operation, and the option to bridge for 70 watts per channel. Its low distortion, strong damping factor, protection circuitry, rack-friendly format, and removable speaker connectors make it especially attractive for distributed audio or discreet multiroom systems. At this money, confirm that the Phoenix speaker plugs, rack ears, power lead, and trigger connections are included, and test every channel and bridge mode before buying.
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.
