Feedback I'm getting here is coherent with what I'm getting on other forums and with what is being pitched by sales personnel at various dealer locations in the Montréal area - eventually a pattern begins to form. Sound is more subjective but reliability-wise I could say that I'm getting about...

Just read a few more reviews - The Rotel appears to be somewhat of a ''Hisser'' More points in favor of the AVR-250

Paul from Longueuil - What did you trade your Arcam for? I went out and had a quick listen for myself. I compared the Arcam AVR-250 against a Denon AVR-2805 and a Yamaha RX-V1500. The Arcam sounded considerably better both in stereo and HT applications. This was no big surprise, especially...

NAD was my first choice until I started reading about the hissing, clicking, fan noise, overheating/shutting down & other numerous quality issues.

''Many issues'' Multiple units'' - That's what I was afraid of. Do you think Rotel is better - reliability wise?

Everyone seems to agree that Arcam receivers sound great - both in stereo and HT applications. Whether this can justify the substantial price difference between Arcam and its better known counterparts (Denon, Marantz, Yamaha, etc) is debatable. One factor that might convince me to opt for Arcam...

My ears were spoiled having owned some high-end audio equipment(Threshold, Audio Research to name a few) when I was younger(wealthier). Now I find myself having to compromise between reliable, affordable, acceptable sound(Denon, Marantz, etc); above average, almost affordable sound but with...

Picked up the CR-77s. A bit harsher in the upper-mids but with better detail than the Paradigms. Now I need to find the receiver that will minimize that harshness without killing the detail.

I think the T773/8500 are probably overkill for 12'x 20' room - they definitely are for my budget. As sound quality is more important to me than raw power I was hoping that the 6 x 70W of the T753 would be sufficient. My main concern with NAD is reliability and other annoyances such as fan noise...

I'm looking for a receiver to drive a 5.1 HT setup with Boston Acoustic CR series speakers. I've narrowed my search down to the Marantz SR-5500 & NAD T7XX. While the more expensive NADs get excellent reviews as far as sound quality goes the Marantz appears to be one of the better choices in the...

Hi, I'm looking to replace a pair of 12 year old Paradigm 3SE-Mini's. The new speakers will be the first step of a 5.1 HT setup which will most likely be driven by a Marantz SR-5500 or a NAD 7XX receiver(Yamaha and Denon are also contenders). I've narrowed it down to either the Boston Acoustics...
