New member Username: StoutPost Number: 1 Registered: May-04 | i need help! I'm debating with myself over which receiver to buy. I'm currently looking at: Dennon AVR-1804 Onkyo TX-SR701 Pioneer VSX-D914 My current Pioneer VSX-3000 from 1987 is a bit dated and is in need of replacment. My current speaker arraingment is Klipsch RF-35s in the front, RC-35 for the center, RW-10 sub, and Infinity SM-100s for the rear. Typical usage is music/video = 50/50. I've also been reading about the NAD, but am unfamiliar with it. Anybody out there have an opinion? |

You'll find the good..the bad..and the ugly. Still, I think you'd be hard pressed to find another receiver that sounds as nice in the same price range. If you buy NAD, be sure its from an authorized dealer. Someone else can probably answer how the NAD line would match up with your speakers. Good luck, and be sure to audition anything you're considering. |

Gold Member Username: John_aPost Number: 1075 Registered: Dec-03 | stout, I think you are about right in your estimation of the numbers of NAD posts here. I also think this tells us something about the forum, and the people who use it. I don't think it tells us anything about NAD. My Rantz started a thread on this question: NAD - To be or not to be?. Also, I agree with Sem. |
New member Username: StoutPost Number: 3 Registered: May-04 | Thanks for the input guys! Interesting thread about the NAD. Based upon some of the other posts I think I'm going to go listen to the Yamaha 1400, too. I'm trying to spend no more than $600. Also, I'm having a hard time getting feedback about the VSX-D914. Is that because its a newer model? |
