At US$900, this sits well above the typical used market for the model: your comp set puts the median at US$398, the 25th percentile at US$350, and the 75th percentile at US$704, so this is clearly ambitious rather than fair. For a buyer, that means the listing needs a strong justification in condition, provenance, or completeness to make sense at this number.
That said, the 2600 is a respected high-current monoblock with the kind of grip and headroom that still appeals to NAD fans: punchy delivery, solid bass control, and enough muscle to make demanding speakers wake up. If this is clean, original, and fully functional, it can still be a worthwhile buy for someone specifically chasing this older NAD sound, but at US$900 I’d want proof of service history and a genuinely well-kept unit before stretching this far above the usual asking range.
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.
