Yeah that 2308 is nice but no pre-outs means no using my Nakamichi for the front channels. I saw that 2808 and thought the same thing, maybe the seller just doesn't know how to set it up. Sounds like the Yamaha RX-V863 or the Onkyo TX-SR705? I like Yamaha's emphasis on substance over style, but...

I'm building a surround sound system around a set of Boston Accoustics T1000 tower speakers. I'll add a Boston Acoustics center channel and BA bookshelf speakers for the surrounds. At some point I will drive the T1000s with my Nakamichi TA-3A, but I want an AVR that can work without the Nak as...

Got it, thanks! Glad I asked here, otherwise the Nakamichi would have gone unused for home theater. Here I thought the out/ins were only for EQs. D'oh! Now I just need to choose an AVR - I've already found lots of options on eBay, I'm surprised how quickly their value depreciates. Another...

Ok, so if I use the Nakamichi to drive the front channels, I'll have to manually balance them with the rest of the channels driven by the AVR? Basically adjust the volume on each receiver until it sounds good? Wouldn't be very convenient, but if the improvement in sound is significant I could...

Thanks Schan, that is a tremendous help! I can get a far better receiver than I thought for ~$150 - $250. I still don't entirely understand how the Nakamichi will integrate into the surround system. I see how it would work well to use the amp for listening to music on the front channel speakers...

So for such a setup, I'd use the AVR as the main receiver, but then the front channels would be amplified by the Nakamichi? Would I then have to manually balance out the volume of the front speakers with the surrounds? That's definitely something to think about. I can look for a used AVR with...

I've just refoamed an old set of Boston Acoustics T1000 Towers, which I hope to use in a surround sound setup. Are these good speaker selections? I realize the tone won't match perfectly but these T1000 speakers are so awesome that to buy a whole matched surround sound set approaching their...
