NAD's are 'better' sounding than 80% of.. all...available gear.
Not of massive Snob appeal though.
Which in itself speaks Volumes.

NAD gear is well regarded by many, and pooh-poohed by some who think that MORE$$$=ALWAYS BETTER SOUND.
For example, Wayne Picquet who runs Quads Unlimited likes using an NAD power amp to listen to Quad 57's. By all accounts he is among the best re-builders of original Quads, and most folks feel the ESL-57 is a very "right" sounding speaker (aside from limited dynamics unless you use multiple stacked pairs - as Wayne does...) That's a damn good endorsement.
There's lots of other good amps out there, too, but the NAD's should not be sneered at.
Their other components also deliver good sound for a fair price. Their phono stages are a cut above the average, and their tuners also had some features to make them a bit more musical, even if they weren't the best DX machines.
I have a 2600 amplifier, the thing can put out gobs of power / high current and sounds fairly smooth and tunefull.
I'm a NAD fan. NAD has always made excellent value gear. I am currently interested in the new NAD C 368 (there is also a 338 and 388) Hybrid Digital DAC Amplifier. Many will not give them a thought either because of their price or because of the switch mode power supplies and Class D output stages. That's too bad - for them!
