I've always had a soft spot for NAD since they went way way out of their way to take care of me (back in the day)

    $3,499 MSRP. That puts it $500 above the Benchmark AHB2 which IMO makes it a hard sell, unless you absolutely need the extra wattage from the NAD.

    didn't realize it was so pricey. I'm patient and can wait for a promo/sale
