Compatible Multichannel Amp for NHT's??


I have NHT's towers (small ones, 1.4's w/ 2-4.5 in midranges, 8-inch woofers and 1 4.5 in backfiring midrange). Will be upgrading from receiver to separates. Any comments on which direction I should go on pursuing multichannel amplification?

With those speakers you're using, may I stongly suggest you stay with amps that are not soft on top! Try to stick with amps that have good top end extension.
The guy who suggested the ATI is on the right track for you! (although he's mistaken about possilby having too much power with his ATI 1505 for his Super Zero's/One's!...those speakers are LOW LOW sensitivity ,and can use more wattage..FYI).
Amps you might want to consider in the $1000-$1600 range new would be the likes of the Parasound HCA1205, ATI1505,maybe Adcom GFA7500 if a good deal, Acurus 125x5(a steal), or 200x5. On the low side, you could get a bargain in a lower powered Rotel RB985 used, as it's a strong amp for the $!..and sounds pretty decent. These amps provide plenty of SPARKLE with your slightly soft/warm sounding NHT's, and should BALANCE out well.
