Why doesn't NAD get mentioned here more often?

To answer the OPs original question: Because they are ugly????? Just kidding....LOL Adcom has a very healthy bloodline and although their products are not the Sleekest or pretty by any means they provide well constructed and well respected audio products.....

Sorry for the screwup, I meant to Say NAD where it says Adcom...Sorry I wasn't paying enough attention....

I have never quoted myself before LOL

In 1987 when I was in the Army stationed in Germany I bought an NAD 1155 Pre Amp, and an NAD 2200 Power Amp. Both were very clean in design. The 2200 was a beast of an amp, rated at 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms, I forget 4 ohms, but a whopping 600 watts per channel into 2 ohms, both channels driven Those measurments were for 200 ms. where as most testing was done for only 20 ms. At the time NAD was in a price and power war with Proton. The amp featured a soft clip circuit switch, and could be bridged into mono. I still have those two components in a closet.

I like NAD products, I just don't know of a local dealer. Good bang for the buck, with Army discount and no taxes I paid $330.00 for the 2200 Power Amp.

I also happened to look for an amp that was stable to 2 ohms. My T973 is a beast, runs cool, and rather affordable as far as these types of things are concerned.

I'm keeping it until it dies. We will see how many pre's it survives.

I was in no way disrespecting NAD I have owned a NAD cd player and it was great no problems whatsoever...I just didn't like the "plain jane "look of my player..But as far as performance goes it was a great cd player and I only got rid of it to upgrade. I do know a few friends that have amps from NAD and they are beasts....Like you said 2ohms ,no problem...

Seems like a lot of the top end brands don't get mentioned that often (NAD B+K Macintosh) Seems like everyone likes their Onkyo's Denon's and Yamaha's
