NAD has gone thru periods where quality suffered. I believe it was related to a change in manufacturing location or vendor. I know folks who have had great luck on vintage and new gear and a few who have had issues in newly launched products. As long as you don't mind the low risk I would try them. They are established and seem to be responsive to issues. That's what you want for your investment. They sell lots of different lines and that is an indication of supporting their business and trying to grow it. Reasonable risk to me.
