NAD T-955 5 channel amp

I purchased this new from Audio Advisor a couple of years ago and could probably track down the receipt if anyone wanted the exact date of purchase.

I was going to take this out of my system several months ago when I bought my Pioneer SC-05, but the difference between my system with the amp and without was too significant for me to move it out.

Recently picked up a Sunfire 5X200 so now the NAD must go. Great amp that has never given me a single problem.

I have the original box, so shipping isn't an issue except for cost.

I'm thinking $650 shipped CONUS.

    Let's do $550 plus shipping. Paypal gift or add the fees.

    This amp is in perfect shape. If local, you can see and hear it before buying.

    I'll throw in a couple of Blu-ray's and/or DVD's as well if interested.

    Couple of (bad...and large) pics and a welcome to the weekend bump.

    Also looked it up and I bought this new in March of 2012.

    Email them and ask for a receipt. I recently did that for my Bryston BDP-1 file player since it broke and I wanted it fixed under warranty.

    $500 plus shipping.

    Purchased new in March 2012.

    You could do a whole lot worse for the price. It's boxed up in the original box and ready to go.

    I also have a Pioneer SC-05 that I'll probably end up listing eventually. If you're interested in both we can talk package deal.

    Great sounding combo with both my Ushers and my LSiM's.

    This should round out my new HT nicely powering a set of LSi's.

    I previously had a Sherbourn 5/1500 powering LSi15's and 7's for surrounds and while it was a beast I didn't care too much for the forward sound compared it for example B&K amps. I am hoping the NAD lives up to the "warm" sound reputation (payment for the amp is on the way).

    I think you'll like what you hear with the pairing. I did, but different ears may yield different results.

    Need a 12v trigger cable? If so, I'll throw one in the box.
