High-End Reciever or Low-End Seperates?

791 Views 4 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  Rich Wenzel
I want to spend 2000-2500 on either a good receiver or low-end seperates. I am currently using a Sony 4ES. I have been reading all of the threads here on this since it has been debated a lot. However, I would like to hear your opinions on the current crop of equipment. I am considering the following receivers, Sunfire Ultimate, B&K 305, 307, 505, 507, Rotel 1055, 1065, NAD 773 and the following seperates, Outlaw and Rotel. Are there any other seperates in this price range. I am willing to buy used. My sources are a Bravo D1 and a Cambridge D500SE. Speakers are Mirage Omnisats and a SVS Ulltra powered by a Samson S1000. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

The new Sherwood Newcastle P-965 ($1,500 MSRP) and its matching amp ($1,999 MSRP) are due out in February and you should be able to get the two together for about $3,000 total. Go to www.sherwoodusa.com to read about them. There is also a thread in this forum that gives some opinions.


And I just read about the new Harman/Kardon AVR7300 ($2,200 MSRP) that sounds very interesting - a true 110 watts X 7 plus the Faroudja DCDi video upsampler that converts all incoming video to 480P. Here is a link:

The link also includes info on their new digital-amp receivers - DPR2005 and DPR1005 that look interesting.


Not sure when any of the new H/K receivers are due out. You should also do a search of this forum to get comments on the units you list.

another option would be to get something like the rotel 1056 use it for now and get an amp later...
