Owned a NAD 2600a amp when they first came out. It was a decent amp that drove my Magnepans just fine. For a two channel setup I’m not sure why you need two, let alone bridging four 2700 amps. Not sure what you’re budget is but I’d just buy one better amp. For what you’re going to end up spending on these old amps I think you can do better with one amp. Sounds like you want power so I’d look at an older Aragon 4004 or 8008 or I’d suggest looking for newer used Parasound A21 which will be a much nicer sounding amp and probably drive your Energy’s without any problems to very loud levels if that’s your thing.
Need Opinion on NAD 2700 amplifier
Considering moving up from my NAD 3020i / 3225PE by adding a NAD 2700 (150 watts per channel into 8 ohms) as the power amplifier. The current setup
has the two integrated amplifiers biamp powering a pair of Energy Reference Connoisseur 30s. Until I find a second 2700, the 2700 will drive the low and the 3225PE will drive the high. Ideal woud be upgrading to 4 bridged 2700 amps fed from a nice Yamaha preamp into RC 70s, but this will have to do in the meantime.
