Been toying with getting some Studio 60s for my fronts for a couple of years now (got RT55i Polks up there now, a very capable speaker) and just curious to see if anything new is on the horizon.

Not sure what you price range is, but you should look at B&W, Paradigm, Energy, KEF, Klipsch, just to name a few. I'm not advocating any brand in this list (I own older Polks myself) but each of these brands has a unique sound that appeal to different people. My best advise to you is to go...

If they're crossed over, typically you have a dip in the overall impedance at the crossover point. The tweeter for example presents a high impedance way below it's crossover point. If your amp isn't heating up, I wouldn't worry about it.

check hifi-remote.com for all questions regarding the OFA remotes. Someone has codes for that device, I can almost guarantee it.

Check to make sure your front speakers are set to "large" otherwise they'll be crossed over at 80 Hz or whatever you have your sub crossover set to. I have the 753's predecessor, the 752, and have absolutely no problems with low frequency response. -Mike

Had this problem on my T752. A software reset fixed the problem. -Mike

OK, I write this knowing that I won't convince anyone firmly embedded in the "cables make a difference" camp or anyone in the "cables make no difference" camp to change their mind. I believe there may be some difference in analog cables. From personal experience I know that speaker cable...

NAD T752 with v1.22 A7 new firmware and a NAD c521i *CD* player, and it still drops audio just like the v1.06 firmware did with a DVD player. Of course the reason I bought the C521i is to have a CD player with a good analog output section. It sounds better than the digital hookup. A/D converters...

Two very different amps you list there. Yamahas are known bright amps, whereas the NAD is a much warmer feeling amp. Not sure which one would sound better with your speakers, having no personal experience with Paradigms, but they are likely to sound very different. I recommend you listen to both...

Picked up a c521i myself. Good discounts available on NAD stuff from Saturday Audio. Got the 521 for 199 + 25 ship. saturdayaudio.com -Mike

I didn't really think I needed one before, but... My new NAD that replaced my Denon AVR has a much more sophisticated DSP section, and seems to be more succeptible to noise. If it's running in surround mode, and the wife starts the dryer, or the water pump kicks on, or any big appliance...

You should also look at the NAD T742. Once you decide you need more power, you can pull the preamp out lines and run them into your choice of power amp. I think you can get that receiver for around 450 if you look around. -Mike

Sorry for the misunderstanding. By switching to a different CD player I meant using the analog outs from that CD player instead of the DVD player I'm using now. Reason for the new player is to get some better DACs. The DVD player I'm using now has unacceptable (to me) sound coming out of it...

I just contacted NAD about this. They don't respond to their e-mail form at all, and the phone number I found on a fluke, but the guy seemed willing to help me. Yes, setting the surround mode to a fixed mode would solve this. Unfortunately that option doesn't exist on the T752. Maybe newer...

I just purchased a new NAD T752 to replace my aging Denon receiver. The main reason for this upgrade was to be able to enjoy the digital surround features of this receiver, and of course the NAD is a much more "musical" amp. My DVD player is a Denon DVD 3000. Not progressive scan, but good...
