Stereo reciever / integrated amp suggestions?

I am looking for a two channel reciever or integrated amp. It would be running Jbl s38 bookshelf speakers in a fairly large room. Source would be cd/sacd (considering a used Sony dvp-s9000es).

I was thinking maybe a used nad c370 or c372. What else should I be looking at?

Thanks,
mark

I owned a Sansui AU-717 and it was a fine piece of equipment for that time era.A 30+ year old amp will more than likely have some issues that will need to be addressed.On the other hand,an NAD C372(around $550.00 used/$999.00 new) should give you many years of pleasurable, trouble free service.If you don't really need SACD,I highly recommend the NAD C-515BEE cd player.At $299.00(new)it is a great,no sound compromise, bargain. Just a few thoughts.Good luck with your search.

Mark....Having owned Adcom in the past I can offer this advice,NAD is leaps and bounds better across the board.I'm not saying Adcom is bad, just that there's more equipment out there that will outperform it for the same money.Try one of the NAD integrateds.If it doesn't suit you,you can resell for little or no loss.Just a thought.Good luck in your search.
