I have a NAD 763 for HT (SF Solo, SF Walls, REL Strata III) with a NAD 272 (150 watts) for the GP front speakers. Absolute Sound recently gave NAD 272 kudos in the under $1000 range. I am 2 months into this set-upand listen 50% stereo/50% HT. I knew I was potentially under utilizing the GP with this combo, however I have been pleasantly surprised. I have added acoustic treatments and decent cables which have helped the overall sound. I originally auditioned the GPs on Primare amps. I was just not prepared to invest in Primare, McCormick, Edge, etc. at this point
