NAD C-298 Amp / (185w/340w) / Original Packaging / *MINT*

Stereophile Class A rated. Originally purchased for $3,000. Original Packaging included. Functions flawlessly. Light use. No marks of any kind. The sound lives up to the awards. The C298 is a phenomenal power amp. Forget about "Class D" and the supposedly harsh sound of yesteryear and just listen - power, image, sound stage, clarity, precision, neutrality. It drives my Linn Majik 140 floorstanders with ease - these are really demanding. I'll let The Absolute Sound say the rest: "The C298 sounds somewhat like a tube amp in the upper frequencies and a transistor amp at lower frequencies. My impression is that such a combination is a sort of ‘dream amp’ in the minds of more than a few audiophiles...The first thing I noticed about the C298 was the excellence of the imaging... the C298 delineates each instrument from others so that you can follow musical lines with ease...The NAD C298 offers the power, voicing, imaging and naturalness to make the audiophile’s wish list blush. That the price is so reasonable makes it an unquestionable value. Add in the upgrade path to even more power in mono form and you have an amplifier that could be the basis of building a wonderful system. Heck, it would fit in a really good $50,000 system."
