NAD Electronics T778 AV Receiver Sounds great, does have the occasional front display failure that corrects itself, does not affect the sound or video outputs. No marks etc. Original box and all accessories, unused mini remote and replacement main remote. Very heavy but well ship. if buyer pays shipping Condition: Used Payment Method: EFT, cash on pick up and PayPal if buyer pays fees Region/State: (NSW) New South Wales/Australia By Kevin McCreadie 2 Comments AUD $2,080 Date: May 5, 20241 yr
This is a seller’s market for high-end NAD AVRs, and the A$2,080 asking price for the NAD T778 is ambitious, sitting well above the 75th percentile (A$967) of recent AUD comparables and far exceeding the median (A$384). While the T778 is a respected 9-channel reference receiver featuring Class D amplification (140W FTC at 8Ω), Dirac Live room correction, BluOS streaming, and upgradeable chassis design to combat obsolescence, the price reflects a premium that few used buyers should accept unless the unit is pristine, original-owner condition with full accessories.
The T778 stands out for its clean audio path, powerful multi-channel performance, and support for 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, making it a compelling choice for serious home cinema and music enthusiasts. If this listing includes the original box, all cables, and the Dirac Pro license (which costs USD $99 separately), it could justify a higher price—but at A$2,080, it’s only a worthwhile buy if the condition is exceptional and the seller is flexible. Otherwise, patience may yield better value closer to the A$967 mark.
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.
