Do it!

I have the opportunity to pick up an HK 430 for $50...I'm so tempted.

[5Toes]

Oh your welcome guys.

[BlackSpeed66]

Just browsing on that auction site...

There's a nice looking 630 and 730 for reasonable prices. I think these have more power than the 330. I saw a 330c on there as well. Go get you one!

I would kill to have a Citation 16 power amp in my collection. I've got a pair of JBL L166's that would sound amazing hooked up to it

My wife's gonna kill me...

5Toes, whomever you are...

Thanks for lighting a fire...

I just picked up a 7600 off ebay for just over $350.

These babies retailed for close to $1800 back in 1987, if you consider the rate of inflation, that is just nuts....

This will go in the garage for a secondary system... been dying to do this for a while, man, prices have dropped, or I got lucky. Last time I went looking for one of these, I got outbid several times in the 500+ ranges...

No way on earth you can touch this piece for 2 channel sound with ANYthing available new today. Yeah, yeah, I know, it doesn't do HDMI and surround sound, but its so far from midfi, its nuts.

Damn thats nice.

The old H/K x30 pieces are pretty solid. My grandpa has a 930 I'd love to get my hands on. That was the flagship unit of the time (excluding the Citation stuff) I have a component setup of the same era (separate tuner & amp) that borrows a lot of pieces from the x30 series. It's a T403/A402 combo...

Check out the Onkyo tx-8211
great receiver that can drive low impedance loads at a CHEAP price

I have one of those, and 8511? as well. They work and work and work and work.

If you wanna consider something radically different, you could do a couple of those "Class T" amps, like bi-amp your main speakers, and find a cool old school pre-amp (eg: Hafler 101) if you wanted WAY better sonics and were willing to put up with some hassle finding it...

[5Toes]

Alrighty then.

Google it

For example...

google 7175 spec and I bet you find a spec sheet quickly...

Really, the 75 watts per channel did transiently cover close to 300, no joke, but just for short bursts..., all you need for bass drums etc..

So how are NAD models named? They seem great, but not visually.

Im having a hard time finding a NAD model history
