Bill,

I can't say enough about how pleased I am with NAD gear especially my new T175HD preamp/processor. Very musical with 2-channel and multichannel audio(SACD's and BD concerts) and wonderful detail and channel seperation with movies. IMO, a very neutral sound signature.

My T175HD is a factory refurb like the one in the link and it has performed flawlessly.

Cerrot,

Bill already has a multichannel amp(Anthem P5) so he really only needs a pre/pro ala NAD T187 but neither has balanced connections which is one of his requirements. But I do agree with the NAD receiver(I think you meant T785) if he was doing a one box solution. I still own the mid 2000's predecessor T773 and it is a 52.8 pound behemoth receiver with dual toroidal transformers and a seperates-like amp section.

With a powerful amp like the Anthem Statement P5, I think the wonderful onboard amps of the T785 would be wasted sitting idle.
