Highly regarded NAD T955 5-channel power amplifier, a quality piece of audio equipment designed for serious home theatre enthusiasts who appreciate clean power, excellent dynamics and reliable performance.Delivers over 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms with all five channels driven, making it an ...
This is a seller’s market only in the sense that clean, capable multichannel power amps remain useful, but A$880 is slightly strong rather than a bargain. Recent comparable NAD T955 asks centre at A$848, with the upper quartile at A$864, so this sits just above the normal range. I’d call it fair if exceptionally clean and fully tested, but there’s room to negotiate toward A$850.
The T955 remains a worthwhile buy for a serious home-theatre or multichannel music system: five discrete channels deliver a genuine 100 watts each, with substantial dynamic headroom into tougher speaker loads. Its robust toroidal supply, modular construction, Soft Clipping and 12V trigger are practical strengths, not just brochure features. At this age, confirm all five channels are quiet and working, check the speaker terminals and RCA inputs, and allow for its roughly 20 kg weight when arranging transport.

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.
