Too late, just bought the Denon 3805. Hopefully it'll be a good pair for my speakers :) Thanks all you guys for the wonderful help

Thanks :) Would you happen to know whether Marantz or Denon has a warmer sound? I'm about to order the Denon right now, and just need some confirmations that it's going to work well with the NHT's (at least close to the Marantz). Thanks again!

It's not going to be as warm as the Marantz's? :frowning:

This forum is so dead compared to AVSforum's 8/

Wow, another interesting find. I found that using the Denon 3805 I can biamp the front 2 channels using the unused back-surround amps, while still maintaining 5.1 setup. I think I'm sold on Denon now :) lol btw, aren't Denon's supposed to be warm sounding too?

I found some great prices on the Marantz 7400's. Are there any sound quality differences between the 7400 and the 7500's? If the only difference is the auto-sound calibration and the THX name tag, I might as well just go for the 7400 and the cheaper price

Will adding a stereo amp for my fronts make them better sounding even at the same loudness? Will I be able to get one for under $200 used? I'm starting to regret that I should have gotten Infinity Beta series instead of the NHT's 8/

Using an Onkyo TX-NR801 currently. I got about a week before the return policy to Frys expires. I got it for $425 from their display model, added tax and a 5 year replacement program it ended up to be around $550.

Does that mean I'm biamping the ST4's? How much do standard (non-fancy but ones that are good for their value) 2 channel amps cost? and any good amping guides out there? Thanks again :)

Looks like nobody owns the NHT's anymore... oh well 8/ My 1st 5.1 HT: NHT ST4 x2 (fronts) NHT SC2 x1 (center) NHT SB3 x2 (back surround) NHT SW-12 (subwoofer) Onkyo TX-NR801 (receiver) Philips DVP642 (divx/DVD player) Can't get better for under $2200 :)

To tell you what you want to hear, NO! :)

Even though I Can't seem to get the net-tune to be working wirelessly, and it's too much hassle to get it wired to upstairs computer, I'm still pretty content right now with the Onkyo... not sure if I'm getting the value out of the 30-40% more cost if I upgrade to Denon or Marantz. Can someone...

The 801 is my 1st receiver ever used. I really have no other comparison to, but I do like its features. I also got it for $425 at Fry's since it was used as a display model for about 6 months (it came to around 530 after tax and a 5 year protection plan), which was another reason that I bought...

Why would you say the Marantz is better? What makes NHT special to other speakers and have a selective receiver compatibility? Why would you recommend the NAD T743/T753, the HK 435, and the Cambridge Audio Azur 540R for the NHTs? Sorry if I have so many questions, I'm just trying to understand...

What you mean by separates, as in amplifier + receiver? As for spending limit... I guess total on those should be under 800-1k, depend how good of a deal I guess :) If I could get a better combo by buying an amp + a 5.1 receiver with better quality sound than a single 7.1 receiver then I would...

Hi, this is my first time posting. I've seen many posts about receiver comparisons, but I think they really depend on the speakers you have, so everyone will have different answers as to which to get. As for me, I have a set of 5.1 NHT's (ST4 fronts x2, SB3 rear x2, SC2 center, and SW-12 sub)...
