July 28 and 29, World Wide Stereo takes up to 40% off storewide with coupon code “2DAYSALE”. Be sure to try it out on NAD amplifiers and receivers (which are rarely discounted).
UPDATE: This appears to take 20%+ off both NAD amplifiers/receivers and Peachtree Audio integrated amplifiers (the best discounts I’ve seen for either brand). Also takes significant discounts on Monster and Klipsch headphones.

 Audio Advisor (via Amazon) has the NAD – T-955 – 5 Channel Power Amplifier for $799 with free shipping and handling. The retail price on this model was $1,500 — it’s been phased out to make place for amps with 7+ channels, but if you want to build a really top notch 5.1 surround system, this would be a great amp. Check out the review at Home Theater Sound for more information.

World Wide Stereo takes up to 60% off everything in the store with coupon code “HAPPY4TH” (expires 7/7/10). Of note, this appears to take 20%+ off both NAD amplifiers/receivers and Peachtree Audio integrated amplifiers (the first time I’ve seen Peachtree Audio amps discounted).

 Spirit Sound (via Amazon) still has the NAD C545BEE CD Player (refurbished) for $369 with free shipping and handling ($130 off MSRP), and the NAD C565BEE CD Player (refurbished) for $599 with free shipping and handling ($200 off MSRP). Both units have received excellent reviews. Information on the higher end model C565BEE can be found in reviews by Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity and What Hi Fi?. The lower end C545BEE has been reviewed by Home Theater Review and What Hi Fi? [Of note: the editors at What Hi Fi? gave 5 stars to the C545BEE, and only 4 stars to the more expensive C565BEE -- they said "we preferred the junior model for its greater attack and excitement," but that "the C565BEE has a cleaner, more precise sound."]

 Spearit Sound (via Amazon) has the NAD – T-515 Universal DVD/CD Player for $149 with free shipping and handling. That’s $250 below retail and the lowest price available for this now discontinued unit. The industry move to blu-ray provides an opportunity to buy a highly regarded dvd/cd player from NAD.

 Spearit Sound (via Amazon) still has the NAD T 737 A.V Surround Sound Receiver for $499.99 with free shipping and handling (Amazon shows AudioAdvisor as the “default” seller – you’ll need to select Spearit Sound as the seller to see the lower price). It’s lowest price available by $100 (it even beats the after coupon price at World Wide Stereo). There’s more information on this model at NAD’s web site.

 World Wide Stereo is taking 20% off NAD electronics with coupon code “G006AUD25″ (expires 6/30). This leads to the best prices available on most NEW (not refurbished) NAD amps, preamps, and receivers. All products come with free shipping and handling. NAD products regularly receive outstanding reviews for build and sound quality — and the prices with this coupon in many cases match prices for refurbished units. I’m a particular fan of the stereo integrated amps (models C326BEE, C355BEE, C375BEE). NAD provides links and/or reprints for most reviews of its products on the NAD website.

 Spearit Sound (via Amazon) has the NAD – C-725BEE – Stereo Receiver (refurbished) for $599 with free shipping and handling. That’s $200 less than the best price I could find for a new, sealed-box unit. (Note: if you wish to connect a turntable to this receiver, you’ll need a phono preamp like the NAD PP-2 Phono Preamplifier.) There are some enthusiastic reviews of this 2-channel receiver at TechRadar, Sound+Vision, and Home Theater Review. Here’s how the reporter at Home Theater Review concluded his review:
The $799 NAD C 725BEE was comfortable with every type of music I could throw at it, sounding better than any receiver should, especially at this price point. It was powerful yet refined, like a megabuck high-end stack of equipment without all the fuss and pretensions. It’s designed with the environment in mind and by people who understand music and know how to reproduce it properly. If you are a music lover and looking for a receiver with the heart of separates, the NAD C 725BEE may be just what you are seeking. It’s hard to imagine anybody doing a music-only receiver better at the price.

You can read more about it (and find specifications and additional images) at the NAD website.

Spearit Sound (via Amazon) has the NAD – C 372 – Integrated Amplifier (refurbished) for $699 with free shipping and handling. This model was recently discontinued (the last of the new units sold out at Spearit Sound earlier this month) – however, they now have these refurbished units, which carry a 1 year manufacturer’s warranty, for $100 less. This integrated amp received rave reviews from Stereophile, SoundStage, and The Absolute Sound, among others. It retailed for $899 when first released, and had climbed to $999 before being discontinued.

Spearit Sound (via Amazon) has the NAD – C-275BEE – Stereo Power Amplifier (refurbished) for $949 with free shipping and handling. That’s $250 below the best price available for a new, sealed-box unit. This is the first time I have seen a refurbished version of this power amplifier. Not much to say about this unit other than it’s made by a great company and has lots of power. You can check out the specifications at the NAD website.

Spearit Sound (via Amazon) has the NAD Masters Series M3 – Amplifier (refurbished) for $2,150 with free shipping and handling. That beats the best price available for a new, sealed-box unit by $849 (it’s also the first time I’ve seen this model for sale as a factory refurbished item). Check out the review at Stereophile for their take on this high-end “dual-mono” integrated amplifier (it’s on their list of Class A recommended components).

Spearit Sound (via Amazon) has the NAD C 165BEE Stereo Preamplifier (refurbished) for $675 with free shipping and handling. That beats the best price available for a new, sealed-box unit by at least $224. Given the dearth of mid-range stereo preamplifiers currently on the market, this is a good way to go if you want to build your 2-channel system around a power amp (instead of going the receiver or integrated amp route). It comes with a 1-year, parts-and-labor manufacturer’s warranty.

Spearit Sound (via Amazon) has the NAD – T-754 Home Theater Receiver for $549 with free shipping and handling. These are NEW units with a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty. I couldn’t find this model elsewhere online for less than $979 (its retail price at the time it was discontinued was $1099). Like the T-744 also listed recently, note that because this is an older model, it does not have HDMI inputs (it does have component video and s-video inputs). If you’re looking for cutting edge video processing, this unit won’t meet your expectations. However, if you are looking primarily for high-quality audio amplification (whether in a video or audio setup) this is another great bargain.

Spearit Sound (via Amazon) has the now discontinued NAD T-744 A/V Receiver for $399 with free shipping and handling. These are NEW units with a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty. I couldn’t find this model elsewhere online for less than $719 (its retail price at the time it was discontinued was $799). Of note, you can also select a refurbished model (on the same page, just click the refurbished option) for $349 (the warranty on refurbished units is 1 year vs 2 years for new). A few things to note – because this is an older model, it does not have HDMI inputs (it does have component video and s-video inputs). If you’re looking for cutting edge video processing, this unit won’t meet your expectations. However, if you are looking primarily for high-quality audio amplification (whether in a video or audio setup) this is a pretty sweet deal.

Spearit Sound (via Amazon) also has the top of the lineNAD – T-785 – Home Theater Receiver (refurbished) for $1,799 with free shipping and handling. I couldn’t find a new, sealed-box unit for less than $3,999 – a savings of $2,200. This model also features modular construction for easy upgrades as technology evolves. Sound+Vision rated the T-785 highly in its December 2009 review. The reviewer concluded:
So is NAD’s new flagship T785 the perfect A/V receiver? Pretty damned close if your interest, like mine, lies more in pure performance and less in features or flash. It’s not cheap, but the top end of a maker’s lineup rarely is, and the unit’s excellent performance, peerless livability, and unique antiobsolescence engineering justify the cost.
