Set of Nad 2400 and 3020a or something else?

[MisterMonitor]

Hello,
I have an offer to buy a set of NAD 2400 as power amplifier, and NAD 3020a as preamp. For about 300 euro. Is it worth or should I look into other amps in this price range ? For example Yamaha A-S501 or Cambridge Audio CXA60?
I have really no knowledge about amps, just did little research. So your advice would be a great help! Thank You!

Try and get the NAD 3020a for €100-ish and don't bother with the power amplifier (assuming the NAD 3020a still works perfectly). Not sure you'd gain much from the two-box set-up when the NAD 3020a is an integrated amplifier if I am not mistaken.

Well I dont know what you'll be powering but my biggest problem is they're very old at this point. Especially the 2400's I think id look for something a bit younger in the NAD range

this for example will drive anything you throw at it

Not too sure how you planned to run the pair of amps from the 3020a anyway.
Running a power amp from an integrated is also a waste of money, however as others have said they are all a bit old and doubt they will last long even if they are in working condition now.

Thank you.
I was just looking for amps, got this set of power amp and amp 2400 and 3020a offered.
I done some reading and those amps seemed good quality. Though I dont know anything about amps at the moment, so thanks for saying:

I just recently found a set of NAD c270 and C370 and c270. would it be better?
Or maybe you could recommend a good set of amps or one amp that would be better?

The C370 has been recommended.
I don't know what you can get for the sort of budget you have but best to stick with an integrated I feel.
