in terms of a more detailed and accurate presentation; which brand do you prefer b&k, nad or marantz?
i have a integra 7.1 av receiver. yes it does have a bunch of dsp settings and features i think its pretty decent in sound (not really an expert in terms of high end stuff since i havent heard seperates yet) but the power section is not that hefty i think denons and nads (av receivers) have more in terms of power.thanks for the input though
im looking for a a/v receiver or processor in the used market. not really considering new equipment due to budget constraints. ive seen some b&k, nad, rotel, marantz and integras in this price range which had the original price well over $1000 originally. i have a b&k 2 channel amp 2 psb stratus minis, 2 paradigm atoms, and a hsu vtf 2 sub. looking for a 5.1 receiver or processor that has dolby digital, dts and dolby prologic capabilities. planning to run a 4.1 setup with phantom center. not really thinking about upgrading to 6 or 7 channels in the future; considering the small size of my room. thanks for the input, i also like rotel sound i own a 2 channel integrated that runs my totem mites and they do sound neutral and transparent. i just want to get peoples opinion regarding the best bang for the buck at the used market at this price range.
thank you
