How much would I get for..

Ok, so I know this is probably stupid and you guys are like, "WTF, why sell it?" Well basically I am not planning on selling it just wanting to know how much my system would reach if I sold it. Also I got given this setup by my Godfather, I paid nothing for it..

Amp - NAD Series 20 - Don't know much more about it. Picture though.

Speakers - Wharfedale XP2's - Also, don't know too much about them. Picture.

Thanks guys.

What sort of price were you looking for the NAD series 20? (email in my trust)

Macky · 9 Sep 2009 at 17:22

Mate, I don't have a clue what it is worth lol. I am an absolute novice. All I know is that, it works, it is very powerful and it is old. So are we looking at over £50 here or is it junk?

Well the NAD is model no 3020, so http://electronics.shop.ebay.co.uk/...meAudioHiFi_Amplifiers&_odkw=nad&_osacat=3280 suggests around £50 ?

As for the speakers, they won't appeal to the mass market any more, as cosmetic design has move on considerably. If they are REALLY good, they may go for some money, but I'd not get my hopes up. Don't scrap them without a bit of research first though.

Info would suggest the amp does 20W/ch

About 50 for the 3020 and probably about 20 for the speakers.

Thanks guys. A while ago I played this on them:

Turned the bass right up and now whenever it gets too loud or there is too much bass etc, my right speaker makes an unbearable noise. Like a high pitch buzzing. Not like something is lose, just like something is broken. Is this the amp do you think or just the right speaker? If so What kind of replacement speakers should I be looking for?

Cheers.

Swap the speakers around before you buy anything new.

If the problem moves with the speaker, then it's the speaker at fault. If it stays on the same side, then the amp is at fault. Make sure all connections are correct, i.e. nothing's loose.

Remember that audio components, especially speakers, are easily damaged if you're careless with volume levels.

/edit

Although I've just listened to that bass test and can hear a weird buzzing with the bass, so maybe it's meant to be like that? Does it only do it when the amp is turned up quite high?

Nah it does it on like any song I play when the I put the volume or the bass up too far. Is also crackly when I play loud things usually.
