Good day All.
My NAD T752 crapped out on me about two week ago and I borrowed my parent's Marantz SR7000, both old receivers. As stated numerous times on this and other forums, the NAD produced a warm sound on my NHT M5's mounted on subwoofer bases. The NAD setup sounded clean, but not crisp. The Marantz sounds less warm but it has more pronounced treble which i like and it sounds "crisper".
Both receivers sound fine to me, but i need to return the marantz to my folks and get a new receiver or separates. I want something nicer than what i had.
I will be buying the Oppo 83. I dont need 7.1.
My speakers are:
NHT M5 w/ subs as fronts, Def tech C/R/L w/ active sub, small Def tech for surr.
This is what Im looking at:
NAD T175 + NAD T955
NAD M15 + NAD T955 or refurb M25
Marantz 8003 separates setup
Arcam FMJ AVR-600 or 500
Arcam FMJ AV-9 (B stock) + P-1000 or P7BK
Arcam AVP-700 + P-1000
oh and theres a Sunfire TRG-3 Bstock avail at a great price im considering.
A NYC dealer I was talking to was suggesting i get the Integra 70.1, not any NAD stuff (even though he sells both). He said the speakers I have are not up to the task. (Do I need new speakers? Are they no good?)
Any thoughts? any input would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
