I'm in the processs of setting up my HT system and need some advice on receiver choice. My speaker set-up will be: Studio 40's, CC-570, ADP-470s and Servo 15 v.2. I've narrowed my receiver choices (I think) to NAD 773, Rotel 1067 and Arcam AVR 300. I've seen the discussions about the importance of correctly matching your receiver w/ your speakers, i.e., balance "bright" speakers w/ a "warm" receiver.
My listening habits will probably be 50/50 music/movies.
My questions are: How valid/important is "matching"? How, in general, would my speaker set-up be characterized - warm, bright, etc.? What aspects of the three receivers I mentioned make them a desirable or not-so-desirable choice for my speakers?
Any other thoughts/experiences with any of these receivers would also be helpful and much appreciated.
I have Studio 40v3's. I have an NAD T763 but believe that the Arcam AVR300 is the best of the lot. I also use a seperate power and pre for 2 channel listening with 40's.
